The governor and members of local representative bodies are elected by popular vote for five-year terms, but governors can only serve for two terms. The general election to elect members of the DPRDs is conducted simultaneously with the national general election. Previously, the general elections for Governor and Vice Governor were not held simultaneously. However, since 2015 regional head elections have been held simultaneously. Under the plan, simultaneous partial local elections will be held in February 2017, June 2018, December 2020, culminating in simultaneous elections for all local executive posts on November 2024 and then every five years.Current provinces[edit]After the creation of Southwest Papua, Indonesia now has 38 provinces: 29 ordinary provinces and 9 provinces that have special status. The 1945 Constitution mentions that the state of Indonesia acknowledges and respects the special status of some of its regional governments. The special status is divided into two separate characteristics which in Indonesian are “Istimewa” and “Khusus”. The main meaning for both is special in English, however, Istimewa could also be translated to “privileged”.Seven provinces in Indonesia that have special characteristics are:One province has “privileged” characteristics:One province has both characteristics: Aceh, which has the special and privileged status of implementation of Islamic sharia law in religious life, customary life, and education.Click on a province name to go to its main articleGeographical units[edit]The provinces are officially grouped into seven geographical units for statistical and national planning purposes, but without administrative function.[1]Geographical unitProvincesPopulation(mid-2022)[2]Largest citySumatraAceh, the Bangka Belitung Islands, Bengkulu, Jambi, Lampung, North Sumatra, Riau, the Riau Islands, South Sumatra, and West Sumatra59,977,300MedanJavaBanten, Central Java, East Java, the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and West Java154,282,100JakartaKalimantanCentral Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, and West Kalimantan17,052,200SamarindaNusa Tenggara (Lesser Sunda Islands)Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, and West Nusa Tenggara15,355,100DenpasarSulawesiCentral Sulawesi, Gorontalo, North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, and West Sulawesi20,304,400MakassarMaluku IslandsMaluku and North Maluku3,201,000AmbonPapua (Western New Guinea)Central Papua, Highland Papua, Papua, South Papua, Southwest Papua, and West Papua5,601,900JayapuraTable of provinces[edit]Provinces of Indonesia[3][4]ArmsProvinceIndonesiannameIndonesianacronymISO[5]CapitalLargest cityPopulation(mid-2022estimate)[6]Area (km2)Density(\/km2)(2022)[7]Geographical unitNo. of cities &regenciesNo. ofcitiesNo. ofregenciesAcehAcehAcehID – AC5,407,90056,83595Sumatra23518BaliBaliBaliID – BA4,415,1005,590790Lesser Sunda Islands918Bangka Belitung IslandsKepulauan Bangka BelitungBabelID – BB1,494,60016,69090Sumatra716BantenBantenBantenID – BT12,252,0009,3531,310Java844BengkuluBengkuluBengkuluID – BE2,060,10020,128102Sumatra1019Central JavaJawa TengahJatengID – JT37,032,40034,3371,078Java35629Central KalimantanKalimantan TengahKaltengID – KT2,741,100153,44418Kalimantan14113Central PapuaPapua TengahPatengID – PT1,431,00061,07323Western New Guinea808Central SulawesiSulawesi TengahSultengID – ST3,066,10061,60650Sulawesi13112East JavaJawa TimurJatimID – JI41,150,00048,037857Java38929East Kalimantan[8]Kalimantan TimurKaltimID – KI3,859,800126,98130Kalimantan1037East Nusa TenggaraNusa Tenggara TimurNTTID – NT5,466,30046,447118Lesser Sunda Islands22121GorontaloGorontaloGorontaloID – GO1,192,70012,02599Sulawesi615Highland PapuaPapua PegununganPagunID – PE1,430,50051,21328Western New Guinea808Special Capital Region of JakartaDaerah Khusus Ibukota JakartaDKI JakartaID – JK10,680,00066116,158Java651JambiJambiJambiID – JA3,631,10049,02774Sumatra1129LampungLampungLampungID – LA9,176,60033,570273Sumatra15213MalukuMalukuMalukuID – MA1,881,70046,15841Maluku Islands1129North KalimantanKalimantan UtaraKaltaraID – KU727,80070,10110Kalimantan514North MalukuMaluku UtaraMalutID – MU1,319,30032,99940Maluku Islands1028North SulawesiSulawesi UtaraSulutID – SA2,659,50014,500183Sulawesi15411North SumatraSumatra UtaraSumutID – SU15,115,20072,461209Sumatra33825PapuaPapua [b]PapuaID – PA1,035,00082,68113Western New Guinea918RiauRiauRiauID – RI6,614,40089,93674Sumatra12210Riau IslandsKepulauan RiauKepriID – KR2,179,8008,270264Sumatra725Southeast SulawesiSulawesi TenggaraSultraID – SG2,701,70036,16075Sulawesi17215South KalimantanKalimantan SelatanKalselID – KS4,182,10037,135113Kalimantan13211South PapuaPapua SelatanPaselID – PS522,200117,8494.4Western New Guinea404South SulawesiSulawesi SelatanSulselID – SN9,225,80045,331204Sulawesi24321South SumatraSumatra SelatanSumselID – SS8,657,00086,772100Sumatra17413Southwest PapuaPapua Barat DayaPBD621,90439,12316Western New Guinea615West JavaJawa BaratJabarID – JB49,405,80037,0451,334Java27918West KalimantanKalimantan BaratKalbarID – KB5,541,400147,03738Kalimantan14212West Nusa TenggaraNusa Tenggara BaratNTBID – NB5,473,70019,676278Lesser Sunda Islands1028West PapuaPapua Barat [c]PabarID – PB[9]561,40360,2759Western New Guinea707West SulawesiSulawesi BaratSulbarID – SR1,458,60016,59588Sulawesi606West SumatraSumatra BaratSumbarID – SB5,640,60042,120134Sumatra19712Special Region of YogyakartaDaerah Istimewa YogyakartaDIYID – YO3,761,9003,1711,186Java514Former provinces[edit]Three-province Sumatra (1948\u201356) (L) and two-province Sulawesi (1960\u201364) with present-day regency bordersUpon the independence of Indonesia, eight provinces were established. West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Maluku still exist as of today despite later divisions, while Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Nusa Tenggara, formerly Lesser Sunda (Sunda Kecil) were fully liquidated by dividing them into new provinces. The province of Central Sumatra existed from 1948 to 1957, while East Timor was annexed as a province from 1976 until its power transfer to UNTAET in 1999 prior to its independence as a country in 2002.New provinces made from currently-existing provinces[edit]Pre-1999 Maluku (L) and Irian Jaya (now Papua, R) with present-day regency borders  Provinces in Western New Guinea, after the split of Papua Province into four provinces in June 2022[17] but before the split of West Papua Province into two provinces in December 2022[18]Renamed provinces[edit]YearOld name(Indonesian)Old name(English)New name(Indonesian)New name(English)Current name1954Sunda KecilLesser SundaNusa TenggaraNusa Tenggaranon-existent1959AcehAcehDaerah Istimewa AcehAceh Special RegionAceh1961Jakarta RayaGreater JakartaDaerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta RayaGreater Jakarta Special Capital RegionJakarta Special Capital Region1973Irian BaratWest IrianIrian JayaIrian JayaPapua1990Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta RayaGreater Jakarta Special Capital RegionDaerah Khusus Ibukota JakartaJakarta Special Capital RegionJakarta Special Capital Region2001Daerah Istimewa AcehAceh Special RegionNanggro\u00eb Aceh DarussalamState of Aceh, the Abode of PeaceAceh2002Irian JayaIrian JayaPapuaPapuaPapua2007Irian Jaya BaratWest Irian JayaPapua BaratWest PapuaWest Papua2009Nanggro\u00eb Aceh DarussalamState of Aceh, the Abode of PeaceAcehAcehAcehFormer provincial capitals[edit]See also[edit]^ Jakarta is a province-level Capital Special Region comprising five Kota Administrasis (administrative cities\/municipalities) and one Kabupaten Administrasi (administrative regency). It has no de jure capital, but many governmental buildings are located at Central Jakarta.^ Since 25 July 2022 Papua Province has been reduced to just five regencies (plus a city) in the northern part of Western New Guinea, plus three regencies in Cenderawasih Bay, with most of the previous regencies of the province split off to form three new provinces. Figures have been adjusted to take account of this separation.^ Since November 2022, West Papua Province has been reduced to a smaller part of Western New Guinea, with much of the western parts of the province split off to form the new province of Southwest Papua. Figures have been adjusted to take account of this separation.References[edit]^ ISO 3166-2:ID^ Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 2023.^ “Data Wilayah \u2013 Kementerian Dalam Negeri \u2013 Republik Indonesia”.

The split remains controversial. In November 2004, the Constitutional Court of Indonesia ruled that the split violated Papua’s autonomy laws. However, since the western province had already been created, it should remain separate from Papua. The ruling also aborted the creation of another proposed province, Central Irian Jaya, because the split was not yet completed. As of June 2008, an ISO 3166-2 code has not yet been published for West Papua. If one were to follow precedent, it would be ID-PB. Note: ISO 3166-2 Newsletter II-1 (corrected 2010-02-19) page 18-19 confirms this as ID-PB.
