Indonesia's Constitutional Court has ruled that unregistered voters may use their identity cards to cast a ballot in Wednesday's presidential election.
The decision came after two candidates, Megawati Sukarnoputri and Jusuf Kalla, said millions of people had been left off voter lists.
The lists were supposed to have been updated after many voters were left off them for April's parliamentary poll.
Incumbent President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is leading opinion polls.
Mr Kalla and Mrs Megawati said they were supposed to have already received updated electoral registers.
