Presidential elections were held in Indonesia on 8 July 2009. The elections returned a president and vice president for the 2009–2014 period. A run-off election was scheduled to be held on 8 September if needed but President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono won more than 60% of the vote in the first round which enabled him to secure reelection without a run-off. Yudhoyono was officially declared the victor of the election on 23 July 2009 by the General Election Commission.
