Abstract

Rerun elections (Pemungutan Suara Ulang/PSU) are corrective electoral policies implemented under strict judicial deadlines and intense public scrutiny. However, empirical evidence on the factors associated with their operational effectiveness at the regency level remains limited. This study examines the associations of policy quality, institutional capacity, external support, and administrator commitment with perceived PSU effectiveness. Cross-sectional questionnaire data were obtained from 240 election administrators across 39 sub-districts in Tasikmalaya Regency and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Policy quality showed the strongest association with perceived effectiveness (β = .466, p < .001), followed by administrator commitment (β = .241, p < .001) and external support (β = .170, p = .004), whereas institutional capacity was not significant. The model explained 53.2% of the variance in perceived effectiveness (R² = .532). Importance-Performance Map Analysis identified regulatory misinterpretation and low public enthusiasm as priority areas for further attention. These results support a context-bound proposition that regulatory clarity may function as an enabling condition in time-constrained PSU implementation. The findings are based on administrator perceptions in one regency and should be validated using multi-source and cross-regency evidence
