The Chairman of the General Election Commission (KPU) of Indonesia, Hasyim Asy'ari, explained that there are three requirements that must be fulfilled if the Presidential Election only takes place in one round. Firstly, the candidate pair must have more than half of the total national valid votes. Secondly, the victory must be spread across more than half of the total provinces in Indonesia.

"Kalau jumlah provinsi kita saat ini 38 provinsi, separuhnya berapa? 19, Artinya harus menang di 20 provinsi," kata Hasyim.Ketiga, adalah di setiap provinsi menangnya minimal 20 persen. " "If the current number of provinces is 38 provinces, how many are half of them? 19, That means we have to win in 20 provinces," said Hasyim. Third, it is to win at least 20 percent in each province."

According to Hasyim, if one of the conditions is not met, there will be a second round of the Presidential Election (Pilpres) which will be participated by the candidate pairs that received the highest number of votes in the first and second ranks. "Then, the winner in the second round will no longer be determined by the previous initial conditions, so there is no need for a second round anymore if there are only two candidates," he said.
