Abstract

Elections are a fundamental instrument in a modern democratic system, reflecting the sovereignty of the people. Active public participation in elections is a benchmark for the success of democracy, and the quality of participation of first-time voters is crucial for the future of Indonesian democracy. This study aims to improve political understanding and active participation of first-time voters in the 2029 Simultaneous Elections. The method used was a participatory approach with the stages of problem identification, socialization, political education, interactive workshops, and evaluation and reflection. The results showed a significant increase in participants' political knowledge, with more than 80% of participants able to explain the electoral system and the role of first-time voters in democracy. Furthermore, there was a change in participants' attitudes from initially apathetic towards politics to more open and motivated to actively participate in the elections. Critical thinking and political issue analysis skills also improved, with participants able to identify hoaxes and rationally evaluate political promises. Participants' readiness to participate in the 2029 Elections also increased, with 85% stating their readiness not to abstain from voting and to participate responsibly. In conclusion, the political education provided successfully strengthened the capacity of first-time voters in facing the 2029 Simultaneous Elections and contributed to improving the quality of Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

This study examines strategies for public budget efficiency in Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, focusing on three key aspects: transparency, innovation, and public participation. The findings indicate that budget efficiency is not only determined by the government’s ability to cut costs but also by the quality of participatory and transparent governance. First, the current condition of Buton shows that a large portion of the regional budget is absorbed by personnel expenditure, with several programs still misaligned with community needs. Second, transparency serves as the foundation of efficiency, reflected in the improvement of the regional information disclosure index, although consistency in data publication remains a challenge. Third, public service innovation through the Public Service Mall (MPP) has successfully reduced average service time from six days to two days, while lowering operational costs and increasing citizen satisfaction. Fourth, public participation through the Musrenbang forums is relatively high, yet digital oversight and the role of civil society organizations remain limited. Thus, strategies for public budget efficiency at the regional level should integrate strong transparency, community-oriented service innovation, and inclusive public participation to achieve efficient, accountable, and equitable local governance.
