DKPP governance Indonesia realizing fair elections 2024

Abstract

Elections are a national event that determines the future of national development through public participation and the integrity of the organizers. The purpose of elections is to determine the best representatives to represent the public interest in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. International election discourse in recent years has not only focused on the principle of Free and Fair Election. The campaign on the manifestation of election organizers with integrity began to be developed in terms of concepts, including Indonesia as a democratic country that upholds the sovereignty of the people Campaigns on the manifestation of election organizers with integrity have begun to be developed conceptually, including in Indonesia as a high adherent of popular sovereignty. Law Number 17 Year 2017 on General Elections states that the Election Organizer consists of the KPU, Bawaslu and the DKPP. DKPP has a big responsibility in creating fair elections because its job is to ensure the integrity of organizers in all regions including in terms of (1) honesty, (2) transparency, (3) accountability and others. Dissatisfaction with DKPP's performance comes from several parties by assessing that DKPP is unable to act decisively, weak and the impact is not felt by the public. The purpose of this research is to analyze DKPP's electoral governance in realized the 2024 fair elections. The research method uses a qualitative type because it does not use numerical measures. The selection of group analysis units allows researchers to examine interactions, roles, and collective work dynamics within the DKPP organization, which are relevant to the study of election organizing processes and mechanism. The results showed that some of the efforts made by DKPP in the 2024 elections showed a positive trend, but there were obstacles to the role of governance in terms of quantity and authority. The conclusion of the research is that DKPP has not fulfilled the ideal aspects as outlined in Torres and Diaz's theory of election governance, as there is still much potential that can be developed and realized to achieve fair elections.
