Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of local democracy in terms of electoral integrity, public trust, and legitimacy through a case study of ballot box tampering in the 2024 regional elections in Sungai Penuh City. This study uses a qualitative approach by utilizing secondary data obtained from official documents of the Sungai Penuh City KPU and Sungai Penuh City Bawaslu, reports, media coverage, and academic literature on local democracy. The results of this study show that the destruction of ballot boxes was triggered by dissatisfaction with the results of the vote count, as well as strategic political motives to force a re-vote (PSU), organized instructions from certain actors driven by the fanaticism of supporters of the candidates for mayor and deputy mayor of Sungai Penuh. Thus, this study provides an overview that strengthening the quality of local democracy is not only at the stage of improving the integrity of the organizers and the logistics security system, but also requires political education, digital literacy, and strict law enforcement in the implementation of regional elections in Sungai Penuh City.

Abstract

Student organizations are integral to the campus political ecosystem, playing a crucial role in planning, decision-making, and allocating roles and interests within the academic environment. However, weak institutional capacity often leaves student organizations trapped in ceremonial activities without a sustainable development direction. This article reflects on the implementation of a capacity-building program for the Student Association (HIMA) of the Faculty of Sharia at the Sultan Thaha Saifuddin State Islamic University of Jambi, as an effort to strengthen the political planning for student organization development. The service program was implemented through a participatory approach, using lecture-discussion methods, focus group discussions (FGDs), simulations, and discovery learning, to enhance HIMA administrators' ability to formulate organizational visions, develop strategic plans, and collectively and accountably manage work programs. The reflection results indicate that capacity building plays a crucial role in fostering organizational political awareness, particularly in understanding the relationships among leadership, decision-making, and program sustainability. This capacity-building encourages student organizations to be more responsive to internal campus issues and more adaptive to broader social dynamics. This article emphasizes that capacity building is a political instrument for student organization development, thereby strengthening HIMA's position as an actor in planning, implementing, and controlling campus-level policies.

Abstract

The 2024 election is a crucial phase for Indonesian democracy. This election would be a juncture for whether the election is just a procedural mechanism for a power transition or a milestone in strengthening Indonesian democracy. This is due to the trend of Indonesian democratic regression characterized by narrowing space for civil liberties and weakening of the civilian institutions that support the existence of democracy. In this research, we use the concept of electoral integrity from Norris, Frank, and Coma. Electoral integrity emphasizes the fulfillment of free and fair principles throughout the election stages, that is, pre-election, campaigning, voting, and election evaluation. Electoral integrity directly contributes to democratic consolidation, which refers to the acceptance of democratic norms by the public such as law enforcement, transparency, deliberation, and bureaucratic integrity. This study uses a qualitative method. The data collection uses library research where data from secondary sources becomes the basis for compiling a conceptual framework and research analysis. The results of our study show that there are still several crucial issues during the 2024 election process that hinders democratic consolidation in Indonesia. Some critical points regarding the 2024 election are electoral regulations, party verification, voter registration, and electoral violations. The negligence of electoral integrity during the entire process of elections has the consequence toward the quality of the 2024 elections as a mere procedural mechanism. Even though the 2024 election has taken place peacefully, it is still insufficient to drive Indonesian democracy more substantive ways.
