A Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting (SMRC) report details a survey on the necessity of amending the presidential term limits in the 1945 Constitution. The results show that 74% of the public want the president to serve only two five-year terms, as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution. 13% of respondents believe the presidential term should be changed, while another 13% were undecided.

The survey also explored opinions on altering the number of terms. Approximately 43% of respondents felt the presidential term should be limited to one term, while 57% believed it could be extended beyond two terms.

The possibility of a three-term presidency was previously raised by politician Amien Rais, who suggested that the Jokowi administration aimed to control all Indonesian state institutions.

The survey also revealed that 68.2% of citizens consider Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution to be the best formulations and should not be changed. Around 15% believe that while Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution may have shortcomings, they remain the most suitable for Indonesia.

The survey was conducted from May 21-28, 2021, involving 1,220 respondents. A multistage random sampling method was used, with a margin of error of ± 3.05% at a 95% confidence level (assuming simple random sampling).
