Survey
Public Opinion Preceding the Parliamentary Elections in Indonesia (1999)
This report presents the results of a survey of public opinion conducted in Indonesia from December, 1998 to February, 1999. Interviews were completed with a sample of 1507 randomly selected adults (18+ years of age) throughout the country. In keeping with the standard practice of the IFES survey research program, this survey was intended in so far as possible to be nationally representative of the entire adult population of Indonesia. What this means, practically, is that every adult citizen of Indonesia ought to have had the same chance of being selected for participation in the survey. Great effort was made to conduct interviews in all regions of the country; in both cities and rural areas; in Indonesian and local languages. These measures were intended to keep to a minimum the size of any population which was systematically excluded from the survey. (Some regions were excluded for security and practical reasons: East Timor, Irian Jaya, Central Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tengara.) The survey questionnaire was written by IFES consultant Steven Wagner, in collaboration with the staff of IFES Jakarta and the Indonesia team at IFES Washington. Sample design and interviewing was accomplished by the private survey research firm Insight (PT. Insightindo Arya Dharma) of Jakarta. The analysis of survey results was conducted by Mr. Wagner.

Implementation of the Proportional Representation System in Awarding National DPR Seats Based on Results of the June 1999 Elections
This publication is written in English and Bahasa Indonesian. The law governing Indonesia’s elections on June 7 provided that seats for legislative assemblies at the national, provincial and district levels were allocated to political parties according to proportional representation. Each of Indonesia’s 27 provinces served as an electoral area for distribution of the 462 elected seats in the national DPR (38 DPR seats were assigned by law to the military). Each province was apportioned a number of DPR seats reflecting its population and number of component districts (kabupaten / kotamadya). Under proportional representation, each party winning sufficient votes in a province wins a share of DPR seats roughly proportionate to that party’s share of the vote in that province.

Survey
Survey of the Indonesian Electorate Following the June 1999 Elections
This report presents the results of a survey of public opinion conducted in Indonesia from August 14-29, 1999. Interviews were completed with a sample of 1520 randomly selected adults (17+ years of age) throughout the country. In keeping with the standard practice of the IFES survey research program, this survey was intended insofar as possible to be nationally representative of the entire adult population of Indonesia. What this means, as a practical matter, is that every adult citizen of Indonesia ought to have had the same chance of being selected for participation in the survey. Great effort was made to conduct interviews in all regions of the country (although some regions were excluded for security and practical reasons), in both cities and rural areas, in Indonesian and local languages. These measures were intended to keep to a minimum the size of any population which was systematically excluded from participation in the survey. In the end, we conducted interviews in 22 of 27 provinces; excluded were Dista Aceh and East Timor (for reasons of interviewer safety), and Central Kalimantan, Maluku and Irian Jaya (for logistical reasons). The DPR election in June was a watershed event, both in the history of Indonesia and in the impact on public opinion. The experience of the election was positive for most Indonesians, because the actual voting was well executed and because of the more general perception that this election was real, ushering in a new Democratic era. As an apparent consequence, pro-Democratic sentiment has solidified in Indonesia. The percentage of Indonesians who consider Indonesia to be primarily a democracy more than doubled, from 33 percent at the beginning of the year to 74 percent after the election. The percentage who says Indonesia should be a democracy rose from 70 percent to 86 percent during the same period.
