A publication by the Indonesian Parliamentary Center (IPC) shows that there were 51 cases of mid-term replacement (PAW) of members of the House of Representatives (DPR) for the 2019-2024 period.

PAW applies not only to DPR members, but also to the DPD (Regional Representative Council), provincial DPRD (Regional People's Representative Council), and regency/city DPRD. PAW involves the replacement of a member by a substitute candidate taken from the Substitute Candidate List (DCT) of the same political party in the same electoral district, who received the next highest number of votes.

Of these cases, the IPC recorded that resignation was the most common reason for PAW, accounting for 68.6% of the total cases.

This was followed by dismissal by the party (11.8%), death, and decisions by the Bawaslu (Election Supervisory Agency), both at 7.8%.

The IPC also noted that PAW occurred more frequently at the regional head level, including governors, ministers, regents, and mayors.

Based on gender, PAW cases were more prevalent among male members (41) compared to female members (10).

By party affiliation, the highest number of cases involved the PKB (National Awakening Party), followed by the PDI-P (Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle), NasDem, Golkar, and Gerindra.

The IPC also recorded that these cases occurred in 31 regions out of 84 electoral districts in Indonesia.
