The highest number of voters abstaining from the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilkada) in 2017 was recorded in West Jakarta. According to the General Election Commission's count, almost 25 percent, or more than 418,000 voters in West Jakarta, did not exercise their right to vote in the February 15th election. The lowest abstention rate was in the Thousand Islands regency, with only 3,200 voters, or approximately 18.6 percent, abstaining.

Cumulatively, the abstention rate in DKI Jakarta reached 22.9 percent. This figure is higher than the national target of a maximum of 22.5 percent. However, this year's figure is lower than the 33 percent abstention rate recorded in the second round of the 2012 gubernatorial election.
