3 November 1945 declaration is an Indonesian declaration which encourages the formation of political parties as part of democracy.[1] This declaration is released for the preparation of election implementation.[1] This declaration can be referred as pioneer of democracy in Indonesia.[1] With this declaration, the government hopes that political parties can be formed before the legislative election in January 1946.[1] This declaration legitimized the political parties that have formed since the Dutch and Japanese periods and also encourage the continued birth of a new political parties.[1][2] However, the stabilization of democracy in Indonesia through the plan of 1946 election cannot be realized.[1] This is because Indonesian people focus on the struggle for independence as a result of the arrival of Allied military forces.[1] At that time, the election is no longer a priority.[1]
