Sixteen parties participated in the elections nationally, including four new parties.
The presidential election, the fourth in the country's history, used a direct, simple majority system, with incumbent president Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, running for re-election with senior Muslim cleric Ma'ruf Amin as his running mate against former general Prabowo Subianto and former Jakarta vice governor Sandiaga Uno for a five-year term between 2019 and 2024. The election was a rematch of the 2014 presidential election, in which Jokowi defeated Prabowo. The legislative election, which was the 12th such election for Indonesia, saw over 240,000 candidates competing for over 20,000 seats in the MPR and local councils for provinces and cities or regencies, with over 8,000 competing for the People's Representative Council (DPR) seats alone. The election was described as "one of the most complicated single-day ballots in global history."{{cite web|url=https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/mind-boggling-challenge-indonesian-election-logistics|title=The mind-boggling challenge of Indonesia's election logistics|first=Ben |last=Bland|publisher=The Interpreter|date=3 April 2019|access-date=11 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190411052808/https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/mind-boggling-challenge-indonesian-election-logistics|archive-date=11 April 2019|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} Jokowi's 85.6 million votes were the most votes cast for a single candidate in any democratic election in Indonesia's history, exceeding the record of his predecessor Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who won 73.8 million votes in 2009.{{cite news |author=Rizky Suryarandika |title=Suara Jokowi-Amin di Pilpres 2019 Lampaui SBY dan Obama |url=https://nasional.republika.co.id/berita/psd088282/suara-jokowiamin-di-pilpres-2019-lampaui-sby-dan-obama |access-date=9 May 2020 |work=Republika.co.id |date=31 May 2019 |language=id |archive-date=24 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200724174037/https://nasional.republika.co.id/berita/psd088282/suara-jokowiamin-di-pilpres-2019-lampaui-sby-dan-obama |url-status=live }} His successor Prabowo Subianto surpassed his record in the 2024 election winning with more than 96 million votes.
On 21 May 2019, the General Elections Commission (KPU) declared Jokowi victorious in the presidential election, with over 55% of the vote. Widodo's PDI-P finished first in the DPR election with 19.33%, followed by Prabowo's Gerindra with 12.57%, then Golkar with 12.31%, the National Awakening Party (PKB) with 9.69%, the NasDem Party with 9.05%, and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) with 8.21%.
Following the election, reports of the more than 7 million election workers, among which 569 had died during the lengthy voting and counting process, surfaced. Prabowo's campaign team claimed that the deaths were linked to fraud that disadvantaged him.{{cite news |title=Old age, poor health caused deaths of poll administrators: Indonesia government |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/old-age-poor-health-caused-deaths-of-poll-administrators-indonesia-government |access-date=14 May 2019 |publisher=The Straits Times |date=12 May 2019 |archive-date=14 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190514150416/https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/old-age-poor-health-caused-deaths-of-poll-administrators-indonesia-government |url-status=live }} As of 9 May 2019, the election commission (KPU) said the dead included 456 election officers, 91 supervisory agents and 22 police officers.{{cite news |last1=Beo Da Costa |first1=Agustinus |date=9 May 2019 |title=Indonesia should probe deaths of election staff – parliament deputy |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1SF1BC/ |url-status=live |access-date=11 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190511113630/https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-indonesia-election/indonesia-should-probe-deaths-of-election-staff-parliament-deputy-idUKKCN1SF1AO |archive-date=11 May 2019}}

The protest turned into a riot, which left eight people killed by security officers and over 600 injured.{{cite news |last1=Medistiara |first1=Yulida |title=Anies: 8 Orang Meninggal Dunia dalam Aksi 21-22 Mei |url=https://news.detik.com/berita/d-4562242/anies-8-orang-meninggal-dunia-dalam-aksi-21-22-mei |access-date=24 May 2019 |work=detiknews |date=23 May 2019 |language=id |archive-date=23 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190523153107/https://news.detik.com/berita/d-4562242/anies-8-orang-meninggal-dunia-dalam-aksi-21-22-mei |url-status=live }}
Background
{{main|Elections in Indonesia}}
Elections in Indonesia were previously held separately, with a 2008 elections law regulating that presidential and legislative elections be held at least three months apart from one another. Following a 2013 Constitutional Court lawsuit, however, it was decided that the 2019 elections – which would have been the 12th legislative election and the 4th presidential election – would be held simultaneously. The stated intent of the simultaneous election was to reduce associated costs and minimize transactional politics, in addition to increasing voter turnout.{{cite news |author=Tehusijarana |first=Karina M. |date=8 February 2019 |title=Explaining the 2019 simultaneous elections |language=en |work=The Jakarta Post |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/02/08/explaining-the-2019-simultaneous-elections.html |url-status=live |access-date=29 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513073335/https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/02/08/explaining-the-2019-simultaneous-elections.html |archive-date=13 May 2019}}{{cite news |last1=Kapoor |first1=Kanupriya |last2=Davies |first2=Ed |date=12 April 2018 |title=Indonesia to ensure stability during elections, says president's... |language=en |work=Reuters |editor-last=Fernandez |editor-first=Clarence |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-politics/indonesia-to-ensure-stability-during-elections-says-presidents-chief-of-staff-idUSKBN1HJ110 |url-status=live |access-date=29 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513073337/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-politics/indonesia-to-ensure-stability-during-elections-says-presidents-chief-of-staff-idUSKBN1HJ110 |archive-date=13 May 2019}}
In the 2014 presidential election, Jakarta governor Joko Widodo defeated former general Prabowo Subianto to become the seventh President of Indonesia. Despite initially having a minority government, Jokowi later managed to secure the support of Golkar and the United Development Party, giving him control of the legislature.{{cite news |title=Jokowi vs. Prabowo: Who Will Win in 2019? |url=http://insight.jakartaglobe.id/jokowi-vs-prabowo-who-will-win-in-2019/ |access-date=24 September 2018 |work=Jakarta Globe |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180217230714/http://insight.jakartaglobe.id/jokowi-vs-prabowo-who-will-win-in-2019/ |archive-date=17 February 2018 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}{{cite news |last1=Chandran |first1=Nyshka |title=Two years on, Indonesian President Jokowi is just getting started |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/18/indonesian-president-jokowi-celebrates-2-years-in-office-with-an-eye-on-2019-vote.html |access-date=24 September 2018 |work=CNBC |date=18 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180825143217/https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/18/indonesian-president-jokowi-celebrates-2-years-in-office-with-an-eye-on-2019-vote.html |archive-date=25 August 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }} In the legislative elections of the same year, former opposition party PDI-P managed to secure the largest share in the DPR, ahead of Golkar and Gerindra.{{cite news |title=Indonesian opposition party leads parliamentary poll |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-26966663 |access-date=4 December 2018 |work=BBC |date=10 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181204195453/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-26966663 |archive-date=4 December 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}

In July 2017, the People's Representative Council (DPR) confirmed that only parties or coalitions with at least 20% of seats in the legislature, or 25% of votes in the previous election, would be eligible to submit a presidential candidate.{{cite news|last1=Aritonang|first1=Margareth S.|title=Election bill passed, presidential threshold intact|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/07/21/election-bill-passed-presidential-threshold-intact.html|access-date=22 July 2017|publisher=The Jakarta Post|date=21 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170722104330/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/07/21/election-bill-passed-presidential-threshold-intact.html|archive-date=22 July 2017|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} Requirements for presidential/vice-presidential candidates were similar, with only either Indonesia-born lifelong Indonesian citizens or naturalised citizens who were born abroad and obtained foreign citizenship outside their own will being eligible to run with a minimum age of 40 and a requirement to "have a belief in the One and Only God." If the candidates had spouses, they also had to be Indonesian citizens. A criminal record resulting in over five years of incarceration or an active bankruptcy bar a candidate from running. A term limit of two terms prevented incumbent Vice President Jusuf Kalla from running as a vice-presidential candidate.{{cite news |last1=Saragih |first1=Samgysara |title=KPU: WNI Naturalisasi Boleh Jadi Capres atau Cawapres |url=http://kabar24.bisnis.com/read/20180523/15/798770/kpu-wni-naturalisasi-boleh-jadi-capres-atau-cawapres |access-date=20 October 2018 |work=Kabar24 |date=23 May 2018 |language=id |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181204151532/http://kabar24.bisnis.com/read/20180523/15/798770/kpu-wni-naturalisasi-boleh-jadi-capres-atau-cawapres |archive-date=4 December 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}:Art. 169

All legislative candidates had to be Indonesian citizens, over 21 years old, senior high school (or equivalent) graduates, and have never been convicted for a crime resulting in a sentence of 5 years or more. In addition, the candidates for the People's Representative Council (DPR) or local legislatures had to be endorsed by a political party and were required to resign from their non-legislative government offices – except for the president and vice president – or their state-owned company positions. Legislators running for reelection or another body through a new political party were also required to resign.{{cite news |last=Iqbal |first=Muhammad |date=1 July 2018 |title=Syarat Lengkap Jadi Caleg di 2019: Bukan Koruptor hingga Lulusan SMA |language=id |work=Kumparan |editor-last=Prasetiyo |editor-first=Wisnu |url=https://kumparan.com/@kumparannews/syarat-lengkap-jadi-caleg-di-2019-bukan-koruptor-hingga-lulusan-sma-27431110790536086 |url-status=live |access-date=4 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205003232/https://kumparan.com/@kumparannews/syarat-lengkap-jadi-caleg-di-2019-bukan-koruptor-hingga-lulusan-sma-27431110790536086 |archive-date=5 December 2018 |df=dmy-all}}

NOTE: The accuracy of political surveys in Indonesia varies significantly, with some having little transparency. It should also be noted that some agencies also act as political consultants and surveys are often paid for by candidates.{{cite news |last1=Hidayat |first1=Reja |title=Rawan Kepentingan: Campur Aduk Lembaga Survei & Jasa Konsultan |url=https://tirto.id/rawan-kepentingan-campur-aduk-lembaga-survei-amp-jasa-konsultan-cJkL |access-date=22 September 2018 |work=tirto.id |date=25 April 2018 |language=id |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181204154553/https://tirto.id/rawan-kepentingan-campur-aduk-lembaga-survei-amp-jasa-konsultan-cJkL |archive-date=4 December 2018 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }} Caution should hence be exercised in using the polling data below.

Jokowi also performed well in ethnically Javanese regions - mainly in Central Java and East Java. Notably, Jokowi won 100% of votes in five Papuan regencies - Puncak, Puncak Jaya, Central Mamberamo, Yalimo, and Lanny Jaya - due to the noken (communal vote) system employed there.{{cite news |last1=Amali |first1=Zakki |title=Jokowi-Ma'ruf Menang 100 Persen di Papua dengan Sistem Noken |url=https://tirto.id/jokowi-maruf-menang-100-persen-di-papua-dengan-sistem-noken-dQAc |access-date=15 June 2019 |work=tirto.id |date=19 May 2019 |language=id |archive-date=4 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190804174042/https://tirto.id/jokowi-maruf-menang-100-persen-di-papua-dengan-sistem-noken-dQAc |url-status=live }} Prabowo, on the other hand, won in most of Sumatra's provinces, in addition to the provinces of Banten and West Java.{{cite web |last1=Pepinsky |first1=Tom |title=Religion, ethnicity, and Indonesia's 2019 presidential election |url=https://www.newmandala.org/religion-ethnicity-and-indonesias-2019-presidential-election |website=New Mandala |access-date=15 June 2019 |date=28 May 2019 |archive-date=4 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604101413/https://www.newmandala.org/religion-ethnicity-and-indonesias-2019-presidential-election/ |url-status=live }}
