Abstract

Re-Voting in the Regional Head Election is one of the corrective instruments in the Indonesian electoral democracy system which aims to ensure fairness and integrity in the implementation of elections. This study specifically examines the implementation of Re-Voting in the context of the 2025 Serang Regency Regent Election, which was decided by the Constitutional Court as a result of proven violations of the principle of neutrality by a number of village heads who actively provided support to one of the candidate pairs. This study aims to analyze the juridical aspects underlying Re-Voting decisions, identify administrative challenges in their implementation, and evaluate their impact on the quality of local democracy in Serang Regency. The research approach used is qualitative with a juridical-normative method, supported by secondary data analysis in the form of Constitutional Court decisions, related laws and regulations, and reliable news sources from mainstream media. The results of the study show that the implementation of Re-Voting in Serang Regency not only indicates weak supervision of village officials in local political contests, but also highlights the urgency of regulatory reform related to the neutrality of village apparatus in the Regional Elections. In addition, administrative challenges such as budget limitations and coordination between election organizing agencies are important highlights that can affect the effectiveness of Re-Voting. This study recommends strengthening mechanisms to prevent violations of neutrality, as well as increasing the institutional capacity of election organizers in dealing with complex local political dynamics.

Abstract

The government leadership of Banten Province in 2025 will face significant challenges stemming from the complexities of regional development amid domestic and global transformations. This study examines key issues confronting provincial leaders, including the imperative for transparent governance, political interference-free decision-making, innovation in public service delivery, social conflict management, inter-institutional collaboration, poverty and unemployment alleviation, and evidence-based strategic planning. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, this article draws upon relevant academic literature, official government reports, and contemporary news analyses. Effective leadership will play a pivotal role in determining the success of Banten’s governance in 2025, particularly in fostering adaptive and responsive administration under the newly elected governor (2024–2029). Critical to this success is the ability to make policy decisions independent of political pressures, ensuring that governance remains aligned with public welfare. Reflecting on past experiences can provide valuable insights for improving the provincial government’s performance, steering it toward a more community-centric approach.
