2005–2014 local elections in Indonesia

none Direct local elections (id Pemilihan Kepala Daerah) were held unsimultaneously throughout Indonesia to elect governors, mayor, and regents between 2005 and 2014. In total, nearly 1,000 such elections were held within a nine-year period. Prior to 2005, local executive offices were elected by vote of members of the local Regional House of Representatives. Summary During the Suharto presidency, executive officials including the President of Indonesia and regional leaders were elected by members of legislatures.INDONESIA: Local Elections https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/indonesia-local-elections 24 April 2024 Council on Foreign Relations en For regional leaders, this amounted to a vote by the relevant Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). In practice, due to the dominance of the ruling party Golkar, regional leaders were effectively central government appointees. After the fall of Suharto, the national House of Representatives passed a law in 2004 which mandated direct elections of local leaders.Erb Maribeth Sulistiyanto Priyambudi Deepening Democracy in Indonesia?: Direct Elections for Local Leaders (Pilkada) 2009 Institute of Southeast Asian Studies 978-981-230-841-2 38–40 https://books.google.com/books?id=AFy9X_i9_q8C en The law also set that election dates for the regional leaders would be set by the respective regions, with terms of leaders expiring in December 2004 – April 2005 being extended to May 2005.Erb Sulistiyanto 2009 56 In order for the local elections to not interfere with the 2009 Indonesian legislative election, no local elections were held in 2009. In 2014, the gubernatorial election for Lampung province was held simultaneously with the 2014 Indonesian legislative election, delayed from its initial schedule of 2013. The separate elections were criticized for their high cost – in 2010, a regency/city election typically cost the government around Rp 10 billion while a provincial election cost around Rp 70 billion. The total expense of the elections in 2010 nationally was comparable to the total available funding for the Ministry of Social Affairs.Pilkada serentak, solusi efisiensi biaya https://antaranews.com/berita/476038/pilkada-serentak-solusi-efisiensi-biaya 25 April 2024 Antara News 24 January 2015 id The high cost for the candidates were also blamed for increasing corruption, with over 170 local leaders being arrested or investigated for corruption in 2004 to 2012.
