These Are the Parties Deemed Potentially Fraudulent in the 2024 Elections According to an LSI Survey

An Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) report titled *Presidential Candidate Debate, Election Neutrality, and Electability*, December 2023 edition, reveals that several parties are perceived by the public as potentially engaging in fraud during the 2024 General Election.

17.1% of respondents believe that political parties are most likely to commit electoral fraud next year.

This is followed by presidential and vice-presidential campaign teams (15.9%) and election organizers (13.6%).

"It turns out that it's not the president and state officials who are most suspected by the public," said Djayadi Hanan, Executive Director of LSI, in an online presentation of the survey on Sunday (10/12/2023).

Only 2.3% of respondents believe President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is likely to commit fraud in the 2024 General Election.

However, Djayadi noted that the fraud committed by these three parties could be linked to state officials or the President.

Furthermore, 4.2% of respondents suspect presidential and vice-presidential candidates of committing fraud in next year's election.

The parties least suspected are regional governments, the central government, the National Police (Polri), the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and others, with proportions less than 5%.

A significant proportion of respondents (34.2%) did not know or did not answer.

The survey was conducted from December 3-5, 2023, involving 1,426 respondents across various regions in Indonesia. Respondents were Indonesian citizens aged 17 years and older or married and possessing a telephone, representing approximately 83% of the national population.

Sample selection used a random digit dialing (RDD) technique, validated and screened. Selected respondents were then interviewed by telephone by trained interviewers.

The survey has a margin of error of approximately 2.6%, a 95% confidence level, assuming random sampling.
