Vote-buying brokers will be busy in the hours just before polling stations open today for Indonesia's parliamentary elections.
In operations dubbed "dawn attacks," middlemen across the vast country will go from door to door offering money for votes for clients ranging from major political parties to first-time candidates, analysts and watchdog groups say.
"We offer 100,000 rupiah (US$11.66) face to face to the voter and we threaten a bit to warn them not to fool us," one Jakarta-based broker who declined to be identified said.
