Are you registered as a voter? According to Shabutin, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of Parliament and legal affairs, there are 4.2 million people over 21 years old and eligible to vote in the country who have not yet registered as voters.

Method 1: Register and register in person

- Explain to the counter staff that you want to register as a voter (Dafter Pemilih)
- After simply filling out the form, the voter registration is completed (some registries will fill in the form for you)
- Remember to ask for a copy of the form to prove that you have registered as a voter
