Indonesia Government Power Map: Who Selects Whom
An election result is a dated publication about a defined contest and reporting area. Certification status, ballot accounting and the voting system determine what the numbers can support.
Identify the election and the reporting stage
A preliminary publication, an election-night update and a final certified result describe different stages. Electionpedia retains the source’s status rather than treating every displayed number as final. For historical research, the source version remains important because later corrections can change a total without changing the identity of the election.
Read the denominator
A vote share needs a denominator: candidate votes, valid votes, ballots cast or another published base. Turnout can use a different base again. Compare the labels before comparing percentages. A margin in votes and a margin in percentage points answer related but different questions.

About this system
Indonesia's official English constitutional translation connects direct popular election of the President, House of Representatives, and Regional Representative Council; the representative chambers that compose the People's Consultative Assembly; joint presidential-House approval of laws; House oversight and the constitutional removal process; presidential appointment of ministers; three-way nomination of Constitutional Court justices; and final Constitutional Court review of laws and election-result disputes.
No invented arrows. A line is published only when an attached constitution or official institution explicitly supports the relationship. An institution source by itself does not justify an inferred line.

The dots
Institutions represented on this map.
Each institution below has an attached source. Being listed does not imply an unshown formal relationship.
People's Consultative Assembly
Consists of elected House and Regional Representative Council members, inaugurates the President, and may discharge the President only through the constitutional process.
House of Representatives
Holds lawmaking, budgeting, and oversight functions and participates in the constitutional presidential-removal process.
President and Vice-President
Are directly elected as a pair; the President exercises executive authority, participates in lawmaking, and appoints ministers.
Supreme Court
Exercises judicial power and nominates three of the nine Constitutional Court justices.
Constitutional Court
Finally reviews laws against the Constitution, resolves specified institutional and election-result disputes, and rules on a House removal opinion.
