Location, date and broadcast
It was announced that the coronation night would again be held at the Plenary Hall, Jakarta Convention Center in Jakarta on March 8–coinciding with International Women's Day. The Foundation has met with Maria F. Febryani as Creative Director for PT. Indonesia Entertainment Production (IEP), a subsidiary of Indonesia Entertainment Group (IEG), indicated that SCTV will be one of the media partners as well as a television network that has full broadcast rights to broadcast the final night live after consecutive four editions of the event.

Selection of participants
The first 7 contestants were selected through regional competitions held in each organizing province. They are East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi and South Sulawesi. The other 35 contestants were selected by a selection committee through central auditions held at Graha Mustika Ratu, the organization's headquarters in Jakarta. The selection was supplemented by one delegate per 15 provinces who had been determined their 'Puteri Indonesia Fevorit Daerah', subsequently chosen by viewers through a public vote on the official website. Four winners will have an additional '2' in their regional titles. The organization also provides a two-ticket opportunity for alumni who have never reached the top three in previous years, but were eventually transferred for voting.

This edition marks the planned debut of five new provinces which will be included in the Eastern Indonesia group due to expansion on June 30, 2022 based on Law No. 16 of 2022. They are the provinces of South Papua, Central Papua, Highland Papua, and Southwest Papua province. This plan was later not implemented because the organization admitted that the administration was not yet complete and the regional government was not ready to send their delegation. This increase in the number of contestant slots had actually been planned since the previous two editions, but was not implemented for the same reason. Organization announces absence North Kalimantan and North Maluku in this edition.

Puteri Indonesia Favorit Daerah
The 15 participating provinces had one favorite delegate who was decided by the highest public vote and judges selection. Winners per province will compete fully to become one of the contestants for Puteri Indonesia 2024. § – Win the vote
