Widodo, also popularly known as Jokowi, beat Probowo in the last two presidential elections.
Some of the latest opinion polls showed Probowo netting more than 50% of the vote against two other opponents.
Voters have six hours to cast their five ballots for their preferred presidential and vice presidential pairing, as well as legislators at the national, provincial and regency level, along with a regional senator for the national parliament.
