Click here Indonesians to vote on Valentine's Day: here are our latest election reports While some people in some parts of the world celebrate love on Valentine's Day with their special ones, more than 200 million registered voters are expected to vote to select the president, vice president and legislators in Southeast Asia's largest economy, Indonesia. The Conversation Indonesia has published a series of election analyses since last year. Our latest article discusses the possibility of a runoff for the presidential election with former general Prabowo Subianto, who used to be President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's nemesis in the last two elections, and his running mate, Jokowi's oldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka forecast to secure the majority of votes. Another article states the minimal impact of the leadership change in the country's top jobs on China and Indonesia relations. The authors argue that Indonesia will remain close to China regardless of who wins the election.

To anticipate the proliferation of misinformation and disinformation during the campaign, The Conversation Indonesia (TCID) has set up a fact-checking expert panel of our authors. Recently, the initiative has received support from The Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) with a grant from the Open Society Foundation to collaborate with two other reputable media - Tempo and Kompas - to amplify the project's impact. If you are an academic or researcher, you can join the panel by registering via this link.
