Indonesian people on the street doesn't take the elections serious. They have seen what the post-Suharto 'democratic' era is all about and didn't like. They remember Suharto era as the good old days.
Political rallies are staged on an allocated day for every party.
This is thought as to avoid political clashes. I have another idea about it:

The political rallies -taking place on a football stadium- participants are mostly paid by the parties to show the masses with their colors. So today the guy dresses in red and rally for one party. Tomorrow he dons the color green and rally for the other and so it goes.

Had the all parties rallying on a single day, there won't be people enough to concentrate for every single party rallying. Or the prices would have to go up since there's a limited number of people who are professioanl supporters.

The official version is that all parties rally would cause clashes and police had to act.
