The parliamentary threshold, or the threshold for entering parliament, has become a major obstacle for new and smaller parties in every general election (Pemilu) in Indonesia. If a political party's vote share falls below this threshold, it will not be elected to parliament and will not be included in the calculation of seats in the House of Representatives (DPR).

This parliamentary threshold has been in effect since the 2009 to 2019 general elections. Law Number 10/2008 on Legislative Elections stipulated that the parliamentary threshold was set at 2.5% of the national valid votes.

Subsequently, Law Number 8/2012 on Elections raised the parliamentary threshold to 3.5% of the valid votes. This threshold was again adjusted in Law Number 7/2017 on General Elections, increasing it to 4% of the valid votes. Various surveys have shown that the electability of new parties is below 4%.
