Elections in Indonesia have taken place
since 1955 to elect a legislature. At a
national level, Indonesian people did not
elect a head of state – the president –

Since then, the president is
elected for a five-year term, as are the
575-member People's Representative
Council (DPR),
the 136-seat Regional Representative
Council (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah),
in addition to provincial and municipal
legislative councils
 Early elections (1955)

Indonesia's first general election elected members of the DPR and

the Constitutional Assembly of Indonesia (Konstituante). The electi
on was organised by the government of Prime Minister Ali Sastroa
midjojo. Sastroamidjojo himself declined to stand for election, an
d Burhanuddin Harahap became Prime Minister.
The election occurred in two stages:
The election of the members of the People's Representative Counc
il, which took place on 29 September 1955. Twenty-nine political p
arties and individuals took part;
The election for the members of the Constitutional Assembly, which
took place on 15 December 1955.
The five largest parties in the election we
re the National Party of Indonesia (Partai
Nasional Indonesia), Masyumi, Nahdlatul
Ulama, the Communist Party of Indonesi
a (Partai Komunis Indonesia, PKI), and t
he Indonesian Islamic Union Party (Parta

Beginning of the New Order (

 Elections under the New Order
(1977–1997)

Five further legislative elections were held

under the government of President Suharto
. In accordance with the legislation, these w
ere contested by two parties (PPP and PDI

tions in this period were won by Golkar.
 To ensure that Golkar always won more than 60
percent of the popular vote, the New Order regi
me used a number of tactics. These included:

 Reducing the number of opponents

 Coercion to vote Golkar:
 The vote-counting process:
 Vote-rigging:
 Multiple voting
