IndonesiaElection: Tallying votes a logistical feat in simultaneous polls

How was the turnout? Fears that abstention rates would exceed 30 per cent seem to have been unfounded.

While many expected a big turnout to work in favour of the popular incumbent Joko Widodo, it may have helped buoy his rival Prabowo Subianto's polling numbers instead. These sub-district numbers are combined to give the number of votes in each of the 514 districts and cities. These are then tallied for each of the country's 34 provinces before results are consolidated at the national level.

Mr Joko noted on Thursday that unofficial tallies by 12 pollsters gave him and running mate Ma'ruf Amin 54.55 per cent of the vote, but held off declaring victory. "Our past experience in previous elections showed that its accuracy to the real count is 99 per cent," he said."But we have to wait for the official results from KPU.

Mr Prabowo may well try again this time around if official results hand him another defeat - but the odds are against him. The Constitutional Court has never overturned a national election result.
