The Golkar convention will run from July 11 through July 30, 2003.

Based on the convention's rules, each district chapter can submit five presidential nominees to their respective provincial chapters for discussion.

Each provincial chapter will then bring five candidates to the convention at the national level.

Individuals wishing to contest the 2004 direct presidential election on the Golkar ticket must show documents proving that they are supported by at least 500 people from five provinces.

Presidential hopefuls are also allowed to use mass organizations to support their nominations. The organizations have to announce this support directly to Golkar's registration committee.
