Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of law enforcement measures in curbing the pervasive practice of money politics during the implementation of regional head elections in 2018, focusing on the case of Lahat District. Money politics, characterized by using financial resources to influence electoral outcomes, poses a significant threat to the democratic process and the integrity of elections. The research aims to assess law enforcement agencies' strategies to counteract and prevent the infiltration of money politics in the electoral landscape. The methodology involves a comprehensive analysis of legal frameworks, law enforcement initiatives, and their practical implications in the Lahat District during the 2018 regional head elections. Data will be collected through interviews with key stakeholders, including law enforcement officials, election commission representatives, political candidates, and community leaders.Reviewing relevant documents, reports, and media coverage will also contribute to a holistic understanding of the electoral process dynamics. The findings of this study aim to provide insights into the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in the Lahat District and propose recommendations for enhancing their effectiveness in addressing the issue of money politics. Understanding the specific context and experiences of the Lahat District can contribute to the development of targeted strategies that can be applied more broadly to strengthen the overall integrity of regional head elections in Indonesia and beyond. Ultimately, the research aspires to advance transparent, fair, and democratic electoral practices by mitigating the influence of illicit financial activities on the political process.
