"The Population and Civil Registry Agency has never issued electronic ID cards for foreign citizens for elections because foreign citizens cannot take part in elections, because one needs to be an Indonesian citizen in order to vote," he said in the video.In the TikTok video, Zudan said that as of January 2023, a total of 16,915 electronic ID cards had been issued to foreign nationals.
That was an increase of nearly 30 percent from the 13,056 ID cards issued to foreign nationals, as of March 2022., South Koreans were the largest group with electronic ID cards , followed by Japanese and Australians . Citizens from China are in fifth place behind the Netherlands . "Giving an electronic ID card to a foreigner is not an easy process.
