Abstract

This study examines incumbent performance accountability in the 2024 single-candidate local election in Pangkalpinang City and its influence on electoral outcomes that culminated in the victory of the blank ballot option. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on in-depth interviews, document analysis, media reports, LP3ES survey data (January 2025), and other secondary sources related to local governance and political dynamics. The findings show that the incumbent administration achieved several notable accomplishments, including a significant increase in regional investment realization from IDR 279.5 billion in 2020 to approximately IDR 4.9 trillion in 2024, urban infrastructure development, the construction of the Kubah Timah Grand Mosque, and improvements in employment and governance indicators. Despite these achievements, citizens continued to face persistent challenges in public services, including inadequate public transportation, waste management problems, limited access to clean water, and concerns regarding bureaucratic performance and local economic conditions. Survey results indicate that the victory of the blank ballot option (44.0%) over the sole candidate (38.6%) was driven primarily by perceptions of inadequate political representation, the absence of meaningful electoral alternatives, and negative evaluations of the candidate’s track record. Furthermore, most respondents reported stagnant or worsening household economic conditions. The study concludes that accountability in single-candidate elections is determined not only by development achievements and administrative performance but also by political representation, government responsiveness, and democratic legitimacy.

Abstract

The Integrated Student Service Program of the University of Bangka Belitung (PMTU) with the theme “Building Digital Financial Awareness: Financial Literacy Education to Prevent Online Gambling among Rural Youth” in Terak Village was implemented as an effort to build awareness and resilience among adolescents against the dangers of online gambling through the enhancement of financial and digital literacy. This program responds to the low understanding of rural communities regarding financial management, digital transaction risks, and the social impacts of online gambling. Through educational approaches and direct socialization, the activity successfully improved participants’ understanding of basic financial planning, distinguishing needs and wants, managing online loan risks, and recognizing the legal consequences of digital gambling. The program’s tangible impacts are reflected in three main aspects: the increase in knowledge and ability to map personal budgets, the development of positive attitudes and commitment to reject gambling invitations, and the establishment of an Anti-Gambling Community as a platform for program sustainability. This educational intervention serves as a strategic step to strengthen digital financial awareness among rural youth while supporting the development of a productive and responsible young generation in the digital era.
