Analysis on Election Models: Examining the Indonesian Case

Abstract

Objective: The upcoming concurrent general election in 2024 in Indonesia is one of very interesting issues of democracy to research. One of which is the idea of a model of electoral governance. This is surely a challenge for future democracy development, both currently underway in Indonesia and in the context of democratic dynamics in other countries. Therefore, to get a model of concurrent elections in Indonesia, a literature review is needed to analyze articles and documents posted on Scopus and Google Scholar which are available globally. This can help researchers particularly in Indonesia to evolve the theory of electoral governance. Method: This literature research aims to find gaps in election governance research that has been carried out and to describe the agenda of concurrent elections in Indonesia. This study found 120 documents from the Scopus database and 100 documents from Google Scholar that were most relevant with the election model keywords. Result: The research found that there are still a small number of Indonesian researchers who have published documents on this theme by which they become references globally. Conclusion: The relevant research themes can become theme issues, namely political accountability, political competition experience, electoral management design, organizing elections, voter management, and democratic election systems. The findings of this literature review research can be a reference for researchers who want to determine the novelty of relevant research in the future.
