The Role of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in Preventing and Suppressing the Practice of Money Politics

This study aimed to analyze the constrained role of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in suppressing the practice of money politics which contributes to high-cost elections during general elections. ASN’s political activities are heavily restricted, limiting its ability to actively and directly engage in the electoral process. However, statutory provisions also mandate that ASN serve as both the implementer of public policy—an inherently political product—and as a unifying force for the nation. In its role as a unifier, ASN must actively contribute to ensuring that elections are conducted fairly and appropriately for the future of the nation. The object of this study was to examine the limited authority and role of ASN in suppressing the practice of money politics. The study employed a qualitative descriptive analysis to explore the issue from the ASN’s perspective, focusing on the potential contributions of its authority and role in enhancing the quality of elections. The findings indicated that ASN can leverage its authority and role both individually and institutionally to suppress money politics practices. Individually, ASN members can contribute through socialization, advocacy, political education, information dissemination, and anti-money politics campaigns. Institutionally, contributions can be made by strengthening regulatory and policy frameworks, enhancing the integrity and capabilities of ASN personnel, conducting studies, analyses, and discussions to improve electoral process quality, and enforcing strict sanctions against perpetrators of money politics.

Kepastian Hukum dalam Penetapan Kriteria Money Politik menjelang Kampanye Pemilu 2024

The implementation of elections or regional elections is very vulnerable to corruption. Money politics is the origin of political corruption. Money politics is a serious problem in elections and elections in Indonesia, starting from the election of village heads, regional heads, legislative members, and the Regional Representative Council (DPD) to the President and Vice President, it is vulnerable to the practice of buying and selling votes. One recent example of allegations of money politics was the discovery of a case of giving away milk during the CFD on December 3 2023 by Vice President Gibran which according to Bawaslu was not an election violation and the case of distributing envelopes bearing the PDIP logo at a mosque in Sumenep amounting to IDR 300 thousand. Again, Bawaslu stated that it could not investigate the case in terms of violations of money politics provisions. This is because the Election Law only regulates the prohibition of money politics during the campaign period. Therefore, there needs to be a clear determination in determining the criteria for money politics. The type of research used is normative juridical with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. There is a gap for the practice of money politics to occur in the upcoming 2024 elections due to the weakness of the regulations governing money politics. This weakness is not only in terms of material, such as if there are subjects of criminal acts who are not organizers, participants, and campaign teams who practice money politics during the campaign and quiet periods, then these perpetrators cannot be punished under the Election Law. Only election organizers, participants, and campaign teams are prohibited from engaging in money politics. Transactions giving money are sometimes not carried out by candidates directly but through intermediaries with the success team or parties who have an interest in the candidate. Legal uncertainty was also seen during the campaign period which only lasted 75 days. So if forms of money politics are carried out by candidates and their teams outside the campaign period, they are not included in the category of money politics

PROGRESSIVE STEPS IN PREVENTING AND HANDLING MONEY POLITICS IN INDONESIAN ELECTIONS: AN EFFORT TO REDUCE DEVIANT BEHAVIOR IN DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS

The practice of money politics in elections is most commonly observed during campaign activities and the distribution of donations, especially in the form of cash contributions. Several factors contribute to this issue, including traditional practices, a desire for recognition, a conducive environment for unethical behavior, the ability to influence laws, wavering ethical values, impoverished communities, limited public awareness, and cultural norms. Money politics typically unfolds in two stages: pre-voting and post-voting. The pre-voting phase includes administrative selection, the campaign period, the quiet period, and the lead-up to the actual election, targeting primarily voters susceptible to influence.

These egal loopholes can be exploited for fraudulent purposes. Therefore, it is critical to enhance the clarity and enforceability of existing legal provisions.
