This index refers to the provincial bawaslu input result approach, Bawaslu's member, Lolly Suhenty, noted during the 2024 Simultaneous Election and General Election Vulnerability Index launch event here, Friday.

Bawaslu measured the 2024 General Election vulnerability index at the provincial level based on 61 indicators from four dimensions: social and political, general election implementation, dispute, and participation.

According to Suhenty, the implementation of general election is the dimension that contributes the most to the potential birth of general election vulnerability as compared to the three other dimensions.

At the provincial level, the implementation of general election was recorded to be the dimension that affects general election vulnerability the most, with a score of 54.27.

Meanwhile, the social and political as well as dispute dimensions have the score of 46.55 and 40.75 respectively.

Lastly, the political participation dimension, with a score of 17.23, has the least potential to give rise to general election vulnerability.
