Get the latest on Indonesia's 2024 elections - from celebrities in politics to the 'Jokowi effect' and logistical challenges.

The Indonesia Elections 2024 have captured global attention as the world's third-largest democracy gears up for a significant political event. Despite President Jokowi not running, his influence remains strong with his face adorning election posters nationwide. The vote on February 14 will lead to a runoff in June, indicating a heated presidential race.

Political parties are strategically leveraging celebrities as candidates within the short 75-day campaign period to attract voters. Transporting ballot boxes by various means, including boats and possibly even elephants, illustrates the logistical hurdles faced in ensuring every vote counts, especially in remote areas.

Amid controversies surrounding President Joko Widodo's alleged influence over the election, Indonesia braces for a momentous change with nearly 205 million eligible voters participating. The youth demographic, comprising about half of registered voters under 40, holds significant sway in shaping the election outcome.

As the world witnesses the largest single-day election unfold, the Indonesian Solidarity Party, PSI, aims to secure parliamentary seats, adding further anticipation to tomorrow's crucial electoral process.
