Indonesian Voters Head to Polls; Voice of America April 08, 2014 ; http://www.voanews.com/content/reu-indonesia-gears-up-for-legislative-election/1888504.html
JAKARTA - Some 187 million voters in Indonesia head to the polls Wednesday in parliamentary elections that will have a big influence on the country's presidential poll in July; Current electoral laws stipulate that a party or coalition of parties must win 25 percent of the popular vote or 20 percent of seats in the national parliament to nominate a presidential candidate.... But polls show that only one party, the Democratic Party of Struggle or PDI-P, will definitely pass the threshold.
Known locally as Jokowi, the Jakarta governor is wildly popular for his reputation for transparency and his hands-on approach to governance.... After his presidential bid was confirmed last month, the PDI-P’s popularity jumped from 27 to 37 percent in a widely watched opinion poll. The same poll showed the next closest party lagging 20 percent behind.... Professor Jemadu said it is too soon to call a Widodo presidential victory a certainty, but he said it is clear Indonesian voters want change....
A relative outsider with no connection to the country’s political elite, Joko Widodo is being touted as a new breed of Indonesian politician... Nonetheless, even as Widodo offers hope and change, the voting system is riddled with corruption... Since the collapse of Suharto’s 32-year authoritarian rule, this year marks the fourth time Indonesians will democratically elect their parliament... Results for the parliamentary election will be officially announced by May 9, but a quick count of the polls is expected within 24 hours.
