The Hong Kong Foreign Election Committee (PPLN) and Taiwan PPLN have been sworn in at each Indonesian government representative office, while the Beijing PPLN is still following.
A total of seven members of PPLN Hong Kong who will be tasked with carrying out a series of stages of the 2024 General Election for Indonesian citizens (WNI) in Hong Kong and Macau were sworn in at the Indonesian Consulate General in Hong Kong, Friday, February 3.

"We hope that PPLN can carry out its duties with full responsibility, honesty, justice, and integrity, especially for the sake of the smooth and orderly realization of the 2024 election," said the Indonesian Consul General in Hong Kong, Slamet Noegroho, quoting between.
The last two elections in Hong Kong, in 2014 and 2019 to be precise, were marked by chaos.
The number of Indonesian citizens who could not vote because they ran out of voting time in Hong Kong in the 2019 Election received serious attention from the Indonesian Election Supervisory Body.
The chaos that occurred at the Victoria Park polling station (TPS), Hong Kong, in the 2014 Presidential Election was triggered by the arrival of 100 voters when the polling station was closed.
Meanwhile, seven Taiwanese PPLN members have also been sworn in at the Indonesian Trade and Economy Office in Taipei on Thursday (2/2).
The number of voters in Taiwan, estimated at more than 250 thousand people, is the second largest number of Indonesian citizens in Asia after Malaysia.
The inauguration of five new Beijing PPLN members will be held at the Indonesian Embassy in Beijing on Tuesday (7/2).
In accordance with the Decree of the General Elections Commission (KPU), the PPLN members will be in charge from January 31, 2023 to April 4, 2024.
