JAKARTA - The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) released five provinces with the highest level of vulnerability in holding general elections (elections) based on the 2024 Election Insecurity Index (IKP) referring to the approach to the results of the provincial Bawaslu input. "When referring to the first approach, namely the results of the provincial Bawaslu input, the IKP for the 2024 Simultaneous Elections and Elections noted that five provinces or 15 percent were categorized as high vulnerabilities," said member of the Indonesian Bawaslu Lolly Suhenty when delivering his presentation at the launching of the 2024 Simultaneous Elections and Elections Boarding Index in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, December 16. The five provinces are DKI Jakarta with a vulnerability score of 88.95, North Sulawesi (87.48), North Maluku (84.86), West Java (77.04), and East Kalimantan (77.04). Furthermore, Lolly conveyed that the vulnerability index in the report released by the Indonesian Bawaslu refers to all things that can interfere with and hinder the democratic implementation of the 2024 General Election. Lolly then said that Bawaslu measured the vulnerability index for the 2024 General Election at the provincial level based on 61 indicators from four dimensions, namely social and political, holding elections, contestation, and the dimension of participation. According to Lolly, holding elections is the dimension that contributes the most to the potential for election vulnerabilities when compared to the other three dimensions. At the provincial level, he said, the dimension of holding elections was recorded to be the highest dimension in influencing election vulnerabilities with a score of 54.27. The next dimension is the socio-political context with a score of 46.55, then the contestation dimension with a score of 40.75. Meanwhile, the dimension with the least potential in producing election vulnerabilities is the dimension of political participation with a score of 17.23. He said there were 21 provinces that were at a moderate level of vulnerability. The areas are Banten (66.53), Lampung (64.61), Riau (62.59), Papua (57.27), East Nusa Tenggara (56.75), North Sumatra (55.43), Maluku (53.69), West Papua (53.48), South Kalimantan (53.35), and Central Sulawesi (52.90).

In addition to the high and moderate level of vulnerability, there are also eight provinces with low levels of vulnerability, namely North Kalimantan (20.36), Central Kalimantan (18.77), East Java (14.74), West Kalimantan (12.69), Jambi (12.03), West Nusa Tenggara (11.09), South Sulawesi (10.20), and Bengkulu (3.79).
