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.
