Indonesian citizens residing in Pakistan and worldwide are preparing for the 2024 general elections in their homeland, scheduled for February 14. A socialization event was held in Karachi to ensure high participation from Indonesian nationals living in Sindh. The elections will determine the President, Vice President, and members of parliament for the 2024-2029 term. The event was attended by 160 eligible Indonesians, including Indonesian women married to Pakistani men, as well as novice voters who were children from mixed marriages and over the age of 17. Currently, there are more than 50 Indonesian-Pakistani mixed married children, and 26 have met the requirements to participate as voters in the next elections. Indonesia’s Consul General Dr June Kuncoro Hadiningrat emphasized the importance of every Indonesian voter using their sovereign right to determine the quality of future national leaders. The goal is to ensure a direct, public, free, confidential, honest, and fair election process for all Indonesian citizens living in Sindh. Overseas participation in the last Indonesian General Elections was also high, with almost 96% of the total overseas Indonesian voters taking part.
