Bureaucratic restructuring must be able to produce a structure that is lean, flexible, responsive and efficient. However, this has not yet happened to the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of the Province of NTT, so an in-depth study is needed regarding the impact of bureaucratic restructuring on organizational performance at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of the Province of NTT based on changes in the dimensions of the organizational structure. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method, the type of data in this research is qualitative data and quantitative data and the data sources in this research are primary data and secondary data. The results of the study found that changes in the dimensions of the organizational structure by Robbins (1994:89-91) on: (a) the complexity aspect was found in terms of vertical differentiation, namely that there were still tasks for echelon III structural officials directly delegated to functional officials because they were not there are structural echelon IV officials so that all services are still running as before the restructuring occurred, (b) in the aspect of formalization it was found that the functional positions resulting from the restructuring were only "as long as they are given" to fulfill the simplification requirements of the bureaucracy and even there were still several functional positions that no one had filled and (c ) in the centralization aspect, it was found that decision making did not change after bureaucratic restructuring.

Abstract

Voter participation is a key indicator of democratic quality in regional elections. This study analyzes the quality of voter participation in the 2024 Kupang City Regional Election by focusing on two voter groups: Generation Z voters and elderly voters. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research explores the experiences, motivations, obstacles, and political behavior dynamics of both groups. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 informants, consisting of the Chairperson of the Kupang City General Elections Commission (KPU), KPU secretariat staff, six Gen Z voters, and six elderly voters, supported by documentation studies and official KPU data. The findings show that Gen Z voter participation is largely influenced by rational considerations and access to digital information; however, political awareness and consistent voter turnout remain relatively weak. In contrast, elderly voters demonstrate more stable participation driven by emotional attachment, life experience, and social proximity to candidates. Supporting factors include political education initiatives by the KPU, social media campaigns, and accessible election information. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors involve technical and administrative issues, such as reduced polling stations, negative political perceptions, voter fatigue due to closely timed elections, and the prevalence of transactional politics. This study concludes that voter participation quality in the 2024 Kupang City Regional Election still faces substantial challenges and requires more adaptive outreach strategies, improved election governance, and strengthened political literacy, particularly among younger voters.
