When Indonesians go to the polls, as they did on April 9, the first of at least two elections being run this year, the atmosphere is festive, even jubilant. Turnout is usually high, far outstripping the participation rate of many mature democracies. Even under the repressive, 32-year rule of the late President Suharto, when elections were a sham and the same political party won every time without fail, voters turned out in droves. Only two parties were allowed to compete with Golkar, the anointed winner. Every five years, an expanded parliament gathered to confirm Suharto for another term.
