Bali Elections
The 2014 Indonesian Legislative Election to elect members of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) and 560 seats of the People's Representative Council (DPR) will take place on 9 April 2014.
46 parties have registered to take part in the election, from which only 15 parties (including 3 Aceh parties) pass the requirements set by the General Elections Commission (KPU), which are stricter than in previous elections. The requirements include representation in every Indonesian province and a minimum 30 percent female membership. Initially all parties with seats in the People's Representative Council were to be allowed to contest the election without the need for verification, but on 29th August 2012, Indonesia's Constitutional Court overturned this provision, obliging all parties to undergo the process.

The results of this election will be crucial to the presidential election in July due to the requirement that a presidential ticket must be supported by a partyor a coalition of parties winning at least 20% of vote in the legislative election. Bali Elections

The parties would hire 1,375 people as witnesses, who would be deployed in 1,131 voting booths (TPS) across the city. Each party will be deploying one of their witnesses at each TPS. The existence of vote witnesses was crucial to prevent corrupt practices and avoid disputes, since the supervision teams from his side lacked human resources.

Each witness will be given the result recapitulation, which may be used in case of disputes over the election process. All members of the commission would meet on February6, 2014 to consolidate preparations to bring successful elections to Bali. The coordination meeting will be about the preparations for the legislative, as well as the presidential, election. All KPU members in the province, totaling 3,000 people, will be involved.
