PSU Pilkada 2025: A Second Chance for Democracy

Following Constitutional Court findings of fraud and election violations in the 2024 elections, Indonesia held simultaneous re-votings (PSU) in eight regions on Saturday, April 19, 2025. These re-votes represent a crucial step in upholding the integrity of the democratic process.

The regions involved in this electoral do-over include:

• Banjarbaru City (South Kalimantan)
• Serang Regency (Banten)
• Pasaman regency (West Sumatra)
• Empat Lawang Regency (South Sumatra)
• Tasikmalaya Regency (West Java)
• Kutai Kartanegara Regency (East Kalimantan)
• North Gorontalo Regency (Gorontalo)
• South Bengkulu Regency (Bengkulu)

Real Count Clarity: Accessing the Official KPU Results

In a move towards transparency, the General Election Commission (KPU) provides an official online portal for tracking the real-time vote count of the PSU Pilkada 2025. This allows the public to directly access and monitor the results as they are tallied.

The official KPU website, pilkada2024.kpu.go.id, serves as the central hub for accessing this facts. The site publishes results based on the official C model form, ensuring accuracy and verifiability.

Navigating the KPU Real Count Portal

To access the real count data, follow these steps:

1. Visit pilkada2024.kpu.go.id.
2. select the desired election type: “Governor Election” or “Regent/Mayor Election.”
3. Choose the relevant province (e.g.,Gorontalo Province).
4. Select the specific regency/city (e.g., North Gorontalo).
5. Specify the sub-district.
6. choose the “kelurahan” (village).
7. select the polling station (TPS).
8. The site will then display the C/D model form, showcasing the vote count at the selected TPS.

It’s important to remember that the published C/D Model Form results are intended to facilitate public access to information. The official vote count is conducted by the KPPS (polling station Working group), with recapitulation and determination of results occurring in stages thru open plenary meetings at the PPK (Sub-district Election Committee), Regency/City KPU, and Provincial KPU levels, adhering to established legal procedures.

Beyond the Official Count: Choice Monitoring Platforms

While the KPU’s official website provides the definitive results, alternative platforms offer additional monitoring and analysis of the PSU Pilkada 2025. These platforms, such as voice guard page, can provide speedy count data and insights into voting trends.
