For the 2004 Indonesian legislative election, the city and regency of Tangerang were counted as a single electoral district, as Banten II which had 11 representatives.[1] In 2009, Tangerang was redesignated into Banten III, and the number of seats was reduced to 10, while Banten II was assigned to Cilegon, Serang, and Serang Regency.[2]
In the 2024 Indonesian legislative election, it is considered one of the most competitive electoral districts, with two former governors of Banten running for a seat.[3][4]
