Indonesian election overseas voting seeing smooth progress

Its Foreign Affairs Ministry says process going well, thanks parties for assisting, including Malaysia where over 800,000 will vote

JAKARTA – The voting process for the 2024 Indonesian general election, which commenced at the start of the month and continues until February 14 outside the country, including Malaysia, has gone relatively smoothly, according to the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry. 

Despite occasional issues, the ministry’s spokesperson Lalu Muhamad Iqbal affirmed that the process is progressing well, thanks to the assistance provided by embassies, consulates, and the Overseas Election Committee in each country. 

He pointed out that the ministry and its representatives abroad are not the organisers, but they bear a moral responsibility to support the successful conduct of the election. 

“Organising elections abroad presents challenges as we must adhere to local laws and regulations. Hence, support and facilitation from representatives are crucial,” he stated. 

Eligible Indonesian citizens across various countries have exercised their voting rights at 3,059 polling centres. 

In Malaysia, where 832,420 Indonesian citizens are registered voters, six polling centres were opened on Sunday for early voting, involving locations in Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang, Sabah, and Sarawak. 

The crowd buildup reportedly occurred at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, involving 222,945 voters. 

Indonesia, the world’s third-largest democracy, is currently observing a three-day cooling-off period for the general election, concluding tomorrow ahead of the voting process scheduled for Wednesday. – February 12, 2024
