                                      The fifth general election in the New Order Government was held on
                                      9 June 1992. The electoral system used was still the same as the 1987

                                      What’s new from this general election was the consideration of giving the
                                      right to vote to Indonesian citizens who had been involved in the G30S-
                                      PKI. The plan was discussed by the consideration team from September
                                      1990 to March 1991. This was part of the preparation to support opera-
