about 204 million voters came to polling stations in Indonesia to elect the new president, vice president, the heads of districts and governors, as well as determine the composition of the parliament.
According to local sources, the vote began at 07:00 local time and ended at 13:00.
Power stations were opened late due to adverse weather conditions and heavy rains in a number of regions of the country. In particular, due to storm and floods, the elections were postponed in 10 villages.
It is noted that the counting of votes has already begun, and the announcement of official results may take a month.
If one of the candidates does not gain more than 50 percent of the vote, then the second round of the presidential election will be held on June 26.
