Chairman of the Indonesian General Election Commission (KPU) Hasyim Asy'ari explained the formula for one round of the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). According to Hasyim, the election formula has been stipulated in the constitution and is referred to in the Law on Elections.
"The election formula in the constitution is determined and then referred to in the Election Law, for the Presidential Election there are conditions for determining the elected candidate," said Hasyim in Jakarta as quoted by Brilio.net from Liputan6.com, Wednesday (13/2/2024).
Hasyim explained that there are three conditions that must be met when a pair of candidates want to win the presidential election in just one round.

First, the candidate pair has more than half the number of valid national votes. Second, winnings must be spread across more than half of the provinces in Indonesia.
"If our current number of provinces is 38 provinces, how many are half? 19, meaning we have to win in 20 provinces," said Hasyim.
Third, Hasyim revealed, the condition is that in each province the winning rate is at least 20 percent.

"So there are three formulas," said the Chairman of the KPU.
Hasyim continued, if one of these conditions has not been met then a second round of the presidential election will be held, followed by the candidate pairs who received the most votes in first and second place.
"Then the winner in the second round is no longer determined by the initial conditions, so there is no need for a second round if there are only two candidates left," said Hasyim Asy'ari in conclusion.
