Indonesia will deploy about 7.2 million poll workers, more than the population of Singapore, to wrap up the world’s largest single-day democratic election in just six hours.
More than 191 million Indonesians are eligible to cast their ballots on Wednesday to elect a new president and several thousand lawmakers to the national and local legislatures. The archipelago of more than 17,000 islands -- that would stretch from New York to Alaska -- will have 810,329 polling stations, data from the General Elections Commission show.
