The People's Representative Council (Indonesian: Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat/DPR) is the lower house of the legislature of Indonesia. Before the 2004 election, the DPR had 500 members, of whom 462 were elected by proportional representation from each of Indonesia's 27 provinces, and 38 were chosen to represent the Indonesian armed forces and police. From 2004 these seats have been abolished, and the new DPR will have 550 members elected by the people. The Regional Representatives Council (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat/DPD) is a second chamber with limited powers.
