JAKARTA - As many as 82.5 percent of Indonesians believe that the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) will take place honestly and fairly based on the results of the Center of Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) survey.

The three candidates still have time to determine political work," said Head of the Department of Politics and Social Change CSIS Arya Fernandes in Siniar as a result of the 2024 election survey reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 27.

The survey, which took place on December 13-18, 2024, against 1,300 respondents aged 17 years or who were married, shows that the level of public confidence in the implementation of the election is very high.
