Abstract

The 2024 Makassar Mayoral Election is part of Indonesia's nationwide simultaneous local elections (Pilkada), which garners significant attention due to the city’s unique and dynamic political context. This study aims to analyze the political preferences of Makassar residents during the 2024 election using a qualitative case study approach. The research data were obtained from official government institutions, such as the General Elections Commission and the Makassar City Government, along with various online media platforms. The findings reveal that voter preferences are shaped by multiple interrelated factors, political party coalitions, the public image of candidates, key campaign issues, and the persistence of transactional politics. A particularly notable finding is the relatively low voter turnout, recorded at only 57.7%, which is below both the national target and the participation rate of previous elections.This study confirms that political preferences in Makassar are driven by the interplay of candidate personality traits and the local socio-political environment. It highlights the continuing influence of patron-client relationships and money politics, alongside emerging patterns of issue-based and image-based voting. These insights underscore the importance of strengthening political education and enhancing electoral integrity to improve democratic quality at the local level in future elections

According to the study, (1) Active Participation: The fishing community participates in the post-conflict local election by campaigning for certain candidates openly, placing banners for candidate pairs, socialising the programme for the next 5 years if mandated by the community, and most of the fishing communities choose one Paslon because of the 4 existing candidates, one may change and (2) Passive Participation: the fishing community participates passively because the problem occurs almost every general election and events have not been adequately analysed for the next participant. First, political parties' candidates are old. (2) campaign promises are not fulfilled with political realities, (3) post-conflict local election organisers lack socialisation, (4) candidate candidates are considered too much talk and not realised after taking office, and (5) the community participates passively because each community has a different perspective. (6) There are more pressing issues and (3) the Abstain group (Golput) or apathetic groups: Fishing communities rarely skip district head elections in Bulukumba Regency this year. Even if fishing villages are apathetic and think an election is pointless, they believe their one vote cannot influence the outcome.
