The Strength of Figures and Characteristics of Political Party Leaders in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Election in Indonesia

This paper projects that the figures and characteristics of leaders are needed in the power of political parties, especially in contesting simultaneous regional elections in Indonesia. In the 2014 and 2019 elections, Jokowi and Prabowo Subianto, respectively, were two central figures in each party. Analysis of survey data for eight Indonesian elections shows that party leadership and identity are the most important determinants of party votes in legislative and presidential elections. Political parties must correctly place a central figure in their respective parties. The central figure serves as a booster, navigator, and inspiration for party cadres. In addition, figures can also be public reference material to choose one political party, when it is difficult for people to distinguish ideology between one party and another. Nevertheless, the system, traditions, and regeneration process must run as it should. Because only systems, traditions, and regeneration will be the foundation of the future. Political parties as a large organization are certainly not enough to rely on only one individual. There must be a regeneration of leadership within the party. So, if the central figure is no longer in the party, the party can still survive to maintain its existence in society.

Appointment of Members of the Indonesian National Army as Acting Regional Heads in the Face of Simultaneous Regional Elections in 2024

The simultaneous Regional Head Elections in 2024 result in vacancies in the positions of Governor, Regent and Mayor who expire their terms because they have to wait for definitive officials from the results of the 2024 Regional Head Elections.

The type of research used is juridical-normative with a statutory approach, The results of the research are, first, the appointment of members of the Indonesian National Army as Acting Regional Heads is contrary to the provisions of Article 201 Paragraph (11) of Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning Regional Head Elections, and Article 19 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning State Civil Apparatus, besides that there are also other conflicts in Article 47 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 34 of 2004 concerning the Indonesian National Army. Second, the authority of the Acting Regional Head is limited by four things, namely prohibiting employee mutations, canceling licenses that have been issued by previous officials and/or issuing licenses that are contrary to those issued by previous officials, making policies on regional expansion that conflict with the policies of previous officials, and making policies that are contrary to government administration policies and official development programs previously. The limitation of such authority may be waived with the written approval of the Minister of Home Affairs. However, the provisions for obtaining written approval from the Minister of Home Affairs are not regulated in the applicable laws and regulations.

POLITICAL COMMUNICATION AND VOTER PARTICIPATION IN THE 2020 REGIONAL HEAD ELECTIONS IN BANGLI REGENCY

This research analyzes political communication in voter participation during the 2020 simultaneous regional head elections in Bangli Regency amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. It examines forms of political communication, underlying ideology, and implications. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and document studies, applying theories such as persuasive communication, critical hegemony, social practice, and power-knowledge relations. Findings indicate that online political communication during the pandemic facilitated interaction between election actors and voters but had drawbacks. Issues included limited election information, outdated voter data, and inaccurate permanent voter lists. Additionally, budget constraints, insufficient personal protective equipment, and health protocol violations were significant challenges. The ideology behind political communication was the hegemony of community figures, political elites, and successful teams over voters, resulting in power-knowledge relations and transactional political practices. Elderly and disabled voters in mountainous areas were particularly marginalized. Practical findings show that online political communication limited voter references, reducing freedom in choosing candidates. Theoretical findings indicate that online political communication disrupts social interaction during Covid-19, and hegemony theory is effectively applied in the Bangli community, which practices local culture. However, power- knowledge relation theory cannot be universally applied, as traditional figures dominate voters and the central executive board determines coalitions and candidate pairs.

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

Study of Identity Politics in the 2019 Simultaneous Regional Head Election in Tarakan City, Indonesia

As an archipelagic country with the largest number of ethnic groups and religions in the world, Indonesia is a multicultural and multi-religious country which currently influences the democratic process in Indonesia, one of which is the Regional Head Election (Pilkada). Tarakan City is an ethnically and religiously diverse city which in its democratic process is still influenced by issues of religious and ethnic sentiment which are accommodated and used well by political elites as instruments in every regional head election. This research uses a qualitative approach with case studies. Data collection techniques use interviews, documentation and audio visuals. The theories used in this research are identity politics, multiculturalism, political participation, political elites, and simultaneous regional elections. The data analysis used in this research refers to a data analysis model which includes three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Based on the research results, it shows that political elites and regional head candidates seem to deliberately maintain or play identity politics, for political interests and power hegemony. This had an impact on the political reality in the 2019 Simultaneous Regional Head Election in Tarakan City. With a certain identity, regional head candidates can hold a bargaining position, which shows that ethnic and religious factors are significant enough to gain support and influence people's choices in the 2019 Simultaneous Regional Elections in Tarakan City. This also proves that the people of Tarakan are voters who only care about figures and similar backgrounds rather than the skills and abilities of regional head candidate pairs.

The research is entitled "Judicial Study of the Stages of Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in 2024".

Meanwhile, existing challenges such as disharmonization of regulations, facilities and infrastructure in disaster-prone areas, budgets in various regions are not sufficient to finance the Regional Head Election and the simultaneous stages of the General Election and Regional Head Election in 2024.

Analisis Pemilihan Serentak Kepala Daerah 2024 Dalam Perspektif Negara Hukum Indonesia

Simultaneous regional head elections, if seen at a glance, are a solution to the non-ideal nature of holding relatively large and repeated regional head elections, but if we look closely we can still discuss in detail the negative side of this policy. This is because there are some regional heads whose term of office must be reduced, thereby contradicting several legal norms (UU). In order to explore and discuss this problem, this paper uses a library research method with a conceptual and statutory approach, while the analysis is qualitative. The theory or teachings used as an analytical tool are theories, teachings about the concept of the rule of law. From several findings, it turns out that the policy of simultaneously electing regional heads has the potential to violate human rights and what is certain is that de facto regional heads whose terms of office have been reduced have been disadvantaged, treated unequally to other regional heads, thus the policy of simultaneously electing regional heads is not directly proportional to the enthusiasm and spirit of regional heads constitution.

Judicial Activism in Regional Head Election Dispute: The Practice and Consistency of The Indonesian Constitutional Court

The Constitutional Court's approach towards regional head election disputes is regarded as quite progressive and illustrates the growing trend of judicial activism. This article attempts to analyze the practice of activism by the Constitutional Court in the context of regional head election disputes and assess its consistency in simultaneous elections. This study uses a conceptual, statutory and case approach in analyzing several regional head election dispute decisions in 2020. The activism of the Constitutional Court in the context of regional head election disputes is at least practiced by judges through three things: first, the determination taken by the Constitutional Court to decide on re-voting and re-counting of votes; second, the willingness of the Court to consider election offenses that are structured, massive, and systematic; and third, the courage of judges to disqualify regional head candidates as well as determine the winner to provide legal certainty. This practice of activism is still being consistently pursued by judges in the 2020 simultaneous regional head elections. Even so, there is a tendency that structured, systematic and massive violations are not the main reason for terminating the election results, and even tend to be complicated by judges who demand more significant evidence. This condition will cause the burden of proving the structured, systematic and massive offenses to be much heavier in the future. This seems to be contradictory to previous decisions of the Constitutional Court which were known to prioritize substantive justice.

Basically, a political battle in general elections or regional head elections is a natural thing, the most important thing is how each candidate and his supporters are mature. This means giving political lessons that in a fight there must be a winner. Later when whoever wins will not influence the people not to stay away from the leader who becomes the winner. The journey of democracy teaches the winners in the sense that all people will honestly and fairly participate, even if they don't support it at first. What's more, we see that the battles that took place were dominated by former combatants of the Free Aceh Movement, who incidentally were comrades-in-arms. We can see the battle this time around in the democratic arena under the auspices of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia which has become a commitment between the Free Aceh Movement and the Republic of Indonesia. The response is that whoever our winners are still brothers, in the future we can join hands hand in hand to create prosperity and peace in Aceh.
