Governance of Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in Realizing Electoral Integrity

In principle, governance in the implementation of regional elections is fundamental in the context of realizing electoral democracy with integrity. Regional election governance concerns regional election institutions as the main aspect, apart from other aspects, namely the regional election system and regional election process, regional election management and regional election law enforcement system. Pilkada governance will of course also be related to electoral integrity, more concerned with the need to present Pilkada organizers who have commitment and consistency to hold quality and democratic Pilkada. In this way, regional elections can encourage the realization of a simplified party system and an effective government system. Of course, this cannot be separated from the principles of regional elections which are generous and fair, which are carried out by voters, participants and regional election organizers

Arrangement of Selected Government Affairs in the Implementation of Broad Autonomy in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia

Implementing government affairs with broad autonomy, especially elective government affairs can promote and develop regional potential. However, in its regulation and implementation, some problems hamper creativity and the development of regional potential. This study aims to evaluate the development and practice of elective government affairs in Indonesia, find a way to strengthen elective government affairs, and realize the widest possible autonomy in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia system. The research used normative law through a statutory, conceptual, and historical approach. The results showed that first, the development of regulations governing government affairs in Indonesia is only explicitly regulated in two laws, namely Law 32/2004 and Law 23/2014. On the other hand, this study found anomalies in the regulation of elective government affairs in Law 23/2014, namely that not all selected government affairs are delegated to provinces and districts/cities even though elective affairs have very potential in developing the potential and distinctiveness of the region. Not only that, in practice, selected government affairs are sometimes hampered by the application of NSPK from the central government. Second, the strengthening of selected government affairs to implement the widest possible autonomy can be done by strengthening selected government affairs based on the NKRI system and redesigning NSPK in the implementation of selected government affairs in the regions.

Local Government Election Management in Lagos State and the Influence Of A Zero-Sum Game

By intent and definition, the Local Government in a democracy is supposed to be the closest government to the people and its administrator should be decided by its residents through a free and fair election. But in Nigeria, the works of the election management bodies that conduct Local Government elections in the States are cumbersome because the Governors have substantial control over them. For instance, the Chairman of the Lagos States Independent Electoral Commission is nominated by the Governor, who also has a major stake in the outcome of Local Government elections. The Local Government election in Nigeria is a zero-sum game for the ruling party in the State, as election into all the Local Government administrative centers is seen as a 'must-win' for the party of the Governor. One of the reasons for this is that Local Governments in Nigeria receive a monthly statutory allocation from the National Revenue. Also, local government official positions that include: the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Supervisory Councilors and other Councilors are used by the Governors and other ruling elites in the States to ‘settle’ loyal party members in their localities. This paper uses Lagos State to highlight the reality of the management of local government elections in Nigeria. It submits that the mode of configuration and procedure of local government election administration must be changed to a more transparent and unbiased one before the election can be taken seriously by the residents of the State.

Optimizing Electronic Voting System in Village Head Elections: Evaluation and Recommendations from Sleman Regency, Indonesia

INTRODUCTION: The rapid technological advancements of Industry 4.0 have influenced government politics, extending to the adoption of electronic voting in village head elections. In Sleman, e-voting was introduced in 2020, aiming for voting system efficiency and synchronization of population data, positioning the region as an e-voting pioneer in Indonesia. While e-voting offers efficiency and cost savings, it faces some problems. OBJECTIVES: This study endeavors to comprehensively assess the implementation of the e-voting system in village head elections and provide recommendations for its optimization, with a specific focus on the context of Sleman Regency.METHODS: This qualitative research encompasses data from 17 villages spread across 35 sub-districts within Sleman Regency. The study utilizes a comprehensive approach that includes secondary data analysis, incorporating literature, internet-based resources, scientific journals, books, regulations, and official documents. It further involves interviews with government officials at Sleman offices, officials at polling stations, and voters. Additionally, observational data is gathered to shed light on the intricate dynamics of e-voting.RESULTS: The evaluation focused on four pivotal aspects of the e-voting system's success: public trust, public participation, technology, and adherence to election principles. The findings reveal improved dynamics in 2021 when compared to 2020. Public trust in the e-voting system has notably increased, aligning with the relatively successful implementation in the previous year. While community participation has reached a satisfactory level, it has yet to attain full community control, with interesting nuances observed, particularly in less ‘advanced’ villages where participation tends to be lower. In the realm of technology, the e-voting system excels in terms of security, hardware reliability, the comprehensiveness of application features, and user-friendliness.CONCLUSION: The study underscores that the enhancement of e-voting systems presents an avenue to fortify democratic practices and electoral processes in Indonesia. Acknowledging imperfections in data collection systems and addressing participation disparities among villages should be prioritised. Furthermore, the study suggests that comprehensive future research is needed to evaluate the feasibility of extending e-voting systems to higher levels of government elections. This examination offers valuable insights into the evolution of e-voting in Indonesia and the prospects for its expansion in democratisation efforts.

Konstytucyjne zasady prawa wyborczego w wyborach samorządowych w Polsce a rozwiązania europejskie – przyczynek do dyskusji

The subject of the article is an attempt to compare the constitutional principles of holding local government elections in Poland and in other EU countries. Preliminary studies of this issue indicate that in the case of elections of the constitutive bodies of local government units, three model solutions may be indicated: (1) lack of regulation of the principles of electoral law in the constitution, which means that the ordinary legislator is left with some freedom in regulation of this issue; (2) constitution regulates a limited catalogue of the principles of electoral law (usually two or three); (3) constitution regulates a full catalogue of the four fundamental principles of electoral law (universality, equality, directness, secret ballot). Similar remarks apply to executive bodies of local self-government units. The aim of the article is to classify Poland into one of the above-mentioned models and to try to answer the question of what were the premises behind such a regulation of this issue in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997.

Contesting in the policy sphere: stakeholders and policy formulation on the lower Subansiri dam in the Northeast

ABSTRACT We advance a framework for analysis of democratic contestation in the policy and media spheres, in the context of the interest group theory and the stages of public policy evolution, to assess whether the contestation process favors some stakeholders over others in India, with a model that predicts pro- or anti-dam policy discourses in the news. There is evidence from participation in environmental movements, especially in the case of anti-dam protest groups, in the policy sphere that play a role in the contestation of scientific knowledge. Our core concern is to understand whether representation of the voices of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and protest groups in the news media affects public policy on controversial mega-projects such as the building of a mega-dam. Our focus is on the timely and critically important case of the Lower Subansiri Hydro Electric Project (LSHEP), a mega-dam on the border of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, the highest earthquake zoned states through which runs the mighty Brahmaputra river. The mega-dam construction was suspended after widespread protests led by social and environmental activists in 2010–11. However, the construction resumed after the election of the BJP-led national government in 2014 and in the state of Assam in 2016. The revival precipitated a new phase of democratic contestation in the policy sphere in 2015–17 which is modeled here, based on content analysis of news reporting. We find that in the policy sphere, the voices of anti-dam activists did not succeed in fostering an anti-dam frame in the news media in the form of news stories opposing the dam.

PO-PiS agreement in the 2002 local government elections on the example of the podkarpackie voivodship

The cognitive objective of the article was to analyse the agreement concluded between PO and PiS before the local government elections on a macro level (as a general concept of agreement between two political entities) and micro level (related to the sphere of influence of this coalition in the Podkarpackie voivodeship). Taking these levels into account made it possible to determine the way in which the coalition was concluded, together with all its consequences, while at the level of the voivodeship in question it was used to determine the course of the negotiation process and the effects of the local elections on PO-PiS.

Analysis on Election Models: Examining the Indonesian Case

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.
