After Indonesia decided in 1998 to end 40 years of military rule, the transition from authoritarian rule to democracy presented unique challenges. 六九色堂聽monitored聽the first genuinely democratic elections for the legislature in 1999, which needed to happen before a new president could be elected.听That was the first in a number of elections we observed.

The Center deployed international observers to monitor the July 2004 presidential election, as well as the runoff that September.听We also sent a few teams of long-term observers, and聽a number of聽short-term observers, to聽monitor聽Indonesia鈥檚 2009 legislative elections.

As Indonesians gained new political freedoms, our observers watched as the processes unfolded, flagged concerns, listened to complaints, made recommendations for improvements, and pushed for transparency聽听– all聽in an effort to聽help strengthen democracy.听聽
