Indonesia's Constitutional Court has received hundreds of appeals against the election results. The appeals mostly relate to the legislative elections, affected by the electoral threshold.
The electoral threshold system requires any party to obtain 4% of the votes in order to enter the central parliament. Critics of this system believe that it deprives the smaller groups and the rising, youth and small parties that represent millions of votes from being present in Parliament. The president and founder of the People's Wave Party, Anis Matta, said that the Electoral threshold system must be removed.
