Abstract

This study aims to analyze the neutrality of the Acting Governor of Central Java, Nana Sudjana, in the 2024 Presidential Election by highlighting the relationship between bureaucracy and electoral political interests. The study employs a qualitative method using a case study approach through interviews, documentation, and literature review. The results indicate that, normatively, there was no violation of neutrality, as evidenced by the absence of findings or official rulings from election oversight bodies. However, empirically, there were indications of implicit non-neutrality, such as bureaucratic mobilization, patronage relationships, and the use of state resources that could potentially influence public political preferences. Furthermore, interview results indicate that the appointment of the Acting Governor, although legally valid, was not free from considerations of loyalty and the central government’s political agenda. The limitations of oversight institutions in addressing latent political practices further exacerbate the gap between norms and reality.

Abstract

This study analyzes the factors behind the high abstention (golput) rate in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) of DKI Jakarta, focusing on North Jakarta. The abstention rate reached 47,07%, the highest in DKI Jakarta, indicating low political participation and raising concerns about the quality of local democracy. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collected through interviews and literature review. The analysis applies political participation theory. The findings show that abstention is influenced by socio-economic, psychological, rational, and technical factors. Psychological aspects, such as apathy and low trust in candidates, are the most dominant. Technical barriers, including limited access to polling stations, also contribute. Additionally, both active and passive abstention are identified, driven by political fatigue and ineffective electoral outreach. The study concludes that abstention is shaped not only by individual factors but also by structural conditions, highlighting the need for more effective strategies to increase political participation. Keywords: Abstention, Political Participation, 2024 Regional Election.
