## Background
### Location and date

Puteri Indonesia 2022 was originally scheduled to be held on 18 March 2022. However, on 17 February, Yayasan Puteri Indonesia postponed the show due to rising COVID-19 cases. It was finally held on 27 May at the Plenary Hall, Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta.

### Host and performers

Choky Sitohang [id] and Patricia Gouw [id] returned to host Puteri Indonesia 2022. This was Sitohang's eleventh and Gouw's second time to host the pageant; they previously hosted Puteri Indonesia 2020 together. Bubah Alfian [id] and Anastasia Praditha [id] served as the backstage hosts. Bunga Citra Lestari, Mawar Eva de Jongh [id], and Vidi Aldiano performed.

### Selection of participants

10 contestants were chosen from the regional competition held in their respective provinces. 29 contestants were selected by judges through an audition held in Jakarta and six by audiences through public voting. On 9 May 2022, Jazmine Callista Rowe of Bali 2 withdrew before the pre-quarantine started for an unknown reason. In total, 44 contestants competed for the title. This edition also marked the first time that provinces other than Jakarta SCR had more than one representative.
