Presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, stated that Indonesia's democracy index is declining. This statement was made during the first Presidential Candidate Debate (2024 Presidential Candidate Debate) with the theme of Governance, Law, Human Rights, Corruption Eradication, Strengthening Democracy, Improvement of Public Services, and Community Harmony, held at the KPU office, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (December 12, 2023).

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Democracy Index, Indonesia's democracy index is still categorized as a flawed democracy. Indonesia's democracy index tended to increase during the presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), from 6.41 (2006) to 6.95 (2014). Then, under President Jokowi's administration, the score fluctuated, reaching 7.03 (2015) and finally reaching 6.71 (2022).

The EIU regularly assesses the democratic conditions in 165 countries based on five major indicators: electoral process and political pluralism, government governance, level of public political participation, political culture, and civil liberties. The results of the assessment are then formulated into an index on a scale of 0-10. The higher the score, the better the quality of democracy in a country is assumed to be.

The EIU also classifies the index scores into four types of democracies:

* Index score > 8: Full democracy
* Index score > 6 to ? 8: Flawed democracy
* Index score > 4 to ? 6: Hybrid regime
* Index score ? 4: Authoritarian
