Abstract

This study aims to examine the reaction of the Indonesian capital
market to the 2024 simultaneous general elections. The analysis
is based on a sample of 764 companies, with key measurements
including abnormal return and cumulative abnormal return. The
methodologies employed consist of descriptive statistical tests,
one-sample t-tests, and paired t-tests. The results from the first
hypothesis test reveal a significant abnormal return on the first
and third days following the 2024 simultaneous elections.
Additionally, the second hypothesis shows a significant
difference in cumulative abnormal returns before and after the
elections. These findings suggest that the 2024 general elections
provided market-relevant information, leading to a measurable
reaction in the Indonesian capital market
