More than 100 poll workers and police officers in Indonesia have died during and after last week's elections. Fatigue has been cited as the main cause.

The country's election commission says 119 people have died so far, and around 550 have fallen ill.

Voting for the country's first simultaneous presidential and legislative polls was held last Wednesday, and ballots were tallied on the same day. It's been called the world's largest one-day election, with over 150 million voters turning out.

More than 7 million workers were deployed to election sites. Officials said many complained of fatigue as they counted ballots by hand overnight.

The winner of the presidency will be announced at some point in the next month. But incumbent Joko Widodo is expected to be reelected.
