JAKARTA: With Indonesia set to go to polls two days before the long Good Friday weekend, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has an appeal to voters: exercise your franchise before heading to your favourite holiday destinations.

“You are welcome to go on vacation, but vote first,” Jokowi said yesterday. “You can vote at 8am or 9am, then fly out at 10am.”
