The Indonesian Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) has announced the 10 regencies/cities with the highest risk in the regional head election (Pilkada). The ranking is based on the Election Vulnerability Index (IKP) score.
Manokwari Regency (West Papua) has the highest IKP score at 78.9 points. Meanwhile, Sungai Penuh City (Jambi) and Ternate City (North Maluku) follow with 76.2 points and 66.7 points, respectively.
The IKP is a mapping of the potential for violations and vulnerabilities in the Pilkada. Bawaslu measures the IKP based on the dimensions of social and political context, free and fair elections, contestation, and participation. The COVID-19 pandemic was also a consideration in calculating the vulnerability level of a region. The highest possible IKP score is 100 points.
