General elections (Pemilu) are often associated with vote buying by candidate leaders. This is not unique to Indonesia; it's a common occurrence in many parts of Asia. Almost one in seven people have received an offer to sell their vote. These transactions occur in local, regional, and national elections.
Thailand and the Philippines have the highest rates of vote buying, with 28% of respondents reporting receiving bribes to sell their votes. Indonesia is not exempt from this phenomenon, with 26% of respondents reporting the same. Overall, 55% of respondents in the Transparency International report believe that the government is run for personal interests.
Transparency International conducted a survey involving almost 20,000 people aged 18 and above. Data collection, which took place from March 2019 to September 2020, covered 17 countries in Asia.
