		First was the nationwide legislative election on April 5, which 24 political parties contested for a combined total of over 17,000 seats at the House of Representatives, the Regional Representatives Council and local legislative councils.
		Among the indicators of this was the voter turnout: 82 percent for the legislative election; 78 percent for the first-round presidential election; and 76 percent for the runoff.
		The result of the election also showed that voter preferences were largely moderate, as the bulk of them voted for nationalism- oriented parties and the Justice Prosperous Party (PKS) -- considered the standard bearer of Islamic values -- because of their anticorruption stance.

		Until the three elections of 2004, the conventional wisdom about Indonesian voters was that they tended to identify with one of four socio-cultural orientations (aliran) in society.
		For example, in the legislative election (April), many voters shifted their support from the largest and well-rooted parties to two, new, smaller parties based on their campaigns emphasizing greater integrity and less corruption in public life.
		And the first-round winner of the presidential election (July), who was the leader of one of the smaller parties, drew significant support from voters who voted for other, major parties in the legislative elections.
