The proportion of abstainers (golput) or voters who did not cast ballots in the Jakarta gubernatorial election is projected to increase in 2024, reaching the highest record in about two decades.

Quoting the *Political Statistics* report from the Jakarta Provincial Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2007 the voter participation rate in the Jakarta gubernatorial election reached 65.41%. This means that the abstention rate reached 34.59%.

Then in 2012, the Jakarta gubernatorial election was held in two rounds, with the abstention rate slightly decreasing from 35.4% in the first round to 33.2% in the second round.

Furthermore, according to the BPS report, in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election, the abstention rate dropped to approximately 22%.

However, according to the Charta Politika research institute, the abstention rate in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election is projected to increase again to almost 42%.

"Today's turnout [voter participation in the Jakarta gubernatorial election] decreased to 58.14%," said Dadang Nurjaman, a researcher at Charta Politika Indonesia, as reported by *Liputan6.com* on Thursday (November 28, 2024).

Similar statements were made by the Chairman of the Jakarta KPU (General Elections Commission), Wahyu Dinata.

"We are still looking for the data because we haven't received it yet. From a quick monitoring yesterday, the participation rate was indeed in the 50-60% range. Hopefully, it won't be too far from the data we eventually obtain," said Wahyu, as reported by *Okezone.com* on Thursday (November 28, 2024).
