This report is a preliminary assessment of 30 in-depth interviews and 3 focus groups on elections and democracy in Indonesia. The interviews are the first phase of a two-phase research project to help Indonesian organizations plan voter and civic education efforts before next year’s election, with a national survey to follow. Because these are qualitative, not quantitative, findings, our results cannot be projected numerically to the population at large, but we believe the findings illuminate some important aspects of Indonesian public opinion. Our aim here is to lay out initial findings suggested by the work and issues highlighted for investigation in the coming survey. Craig Charney of Charney Research (New York) and Achala Srivatsa of AC Nielsen (Indonesia) wrote this report, with some editorial assistance from The Asia Foundation staff.

Youth constitutes a large segment, 43 percent, of the total population in Malaysia. The diverse and numerous roles that they play in the country's political, social and economic landscapes underline the fact that they are a critical demographic group to engage. In April 2012, The Asia Foundation conducted its fourth nationwide survey of Malaysian youth opinion as part of the Foundation's continuing efforts to enhance public engagement and innovative research in support of improving governance, civil society, economic progress, and sustainable development in Malaysia. Over 2,100 youth across all states and federal territories in Malaysia were engaged in the comprehensive survey. The survey provides a window into the attitudes, concerns and practices of young Malaysians on a range of contemporary political, social and economic issues.
