The Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) states that numerous instances of non-compliance by the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) with legal provisions, particularly budget discrepancies in election or regional election implementation, have contributed to uncovering corruption cases within these two institutions.

According to ICW investigations, between 2019 and 2023, there were 21 corruption cases involving 44 internal KPU members.

During the same period, there were 16 corruption cases involving 46 Bawaslu members. These figures for both KPU and Bawaslu encompass provincial, regency, and municipal levels.

*Databoks* compiled the trend of the number of suspects from both institutions during the same period.

The trend shows that the number of KPU suspects fluctuated, peaking in 2022 with 15 internal KPU members.

In contrast, the number of Bawaslu suspects increased consistently each year, reaching a high of 25 internal Bawaslu members in 2023.

"The modus operandi of these corruption cases varied, ranging from bribery, fictitious activities, forged signatures, unpaid honorariums for election supervisors, corruption of regional election grant funds, to corruption in procurement of goods and services," wrote the ICW in a report cited on Monday (April 14, 2025).
