The implementation of democracy in Indonesia has undergone various developments in line with the development of science and technological advances that affect various activities of state life. One form of democracy is manifested in the freedom to choose the head of government. Indonesia has realized various democratic activities through the general elections of heads of state, regional heads, legislative members to the latest village head elections. Moreover, decentralization gives regions to manage policies that are ideally applied in their respective regions according to the capabilities and technology possessed by local governments. The implementation of digital-based village head elections in the form of e-voting colors the dynamics of existing policies at the village level.

This research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the realization of Indonesian democracy in the village head election activities in the realization of e- voting which will assess the achievement of electability and the influence of digital literacy in Bunga Karang Village, Lago District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province.
