General Election Commission of Indonesia

The General Elections Commission (known in Indonesian as Komisi Pemilihan Umum, abbreviated as KPU) is the body that organizes elections in Indonesia. Its responsibilities include deciding which parties can contest elections, organizing the voting and announcing the results and seats won in the various branches of the government.

Elections on all levels, including presidential, legislative, and local ones, are handled by the KPU. Its tasks include creating voter lists, scheduling elections, planning candidate debates, keeping an eye on campaign money, and managing the tabulation and counting of votes.

Nine people make up the KPU, and they are chosen for the organization by the president from nominations made by a variety of entities, including political groups and civil society organizations.
