Abstract

The Regional Head Election (Pilkada) serves as one of the main pillars of democracy in Indonesia, providing a mechanism for citizens to choose their leaders and determine the direction of development policies. Political participation plays a crucial role in shaping the quality of Pilkada, particularly in fostering political legitimacy, transparency, and accountability. This study focuses on analyzing the level of political participation in Purwakarta Regency during the 2024 Pilkada, aiming to identify influencing factors and offer practical recommendations to enhance future participation. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing data sourced from official KPU documentation and interviews with key informants. The findings reveal a participation rate of 74%, with significant variations across districts. Factors influencing participation include education level, access to information, trust in candidates, and geographical barriers. Additionally, political apathy and money politics remain challenges that need to be addressed. The study recommends several strategic actions, such as increasing the intensity of electoral socialization, strengthening political education, and providing special services for groups with limited access to polling stations. It also highlights the importance of improving candidate quality to build public trust. Future research is suggested to focus on apathetic groups, the effectiveness of socialization strategies, and the engagement of first-time voters to strengthen the foundation of local democracy. Thus, it is hoped that political participation in Purwakarta Regency can be further maximized, ensuring a more representative and high-quality Pilkada

Abstract

A quality democracy is reflected in the implementation of regional head elections (Pilkada) that are transparent, participatory, and accountable. This study aims to examine the quality of democracy in the implementation of the 2024 regional elections in Cibitung Sub-district, Bekasi Regency, with a focus on the level of community participation, the impact of money politics, and the transparency and accountability of organisers. Using a qualitative method with in-depth interviews, this research involved six informants who were purposively selected. The results show that voter participation is still constrained by administrative issues and population mobility, while the practice of money politics remains a major challenge that undermines the integrity of democracy. On the other hand, the organisation of the elections was considered quite transparent, despite concerns about potential fraud. Social media is the main source of political information, but it has not been matched by adequate political literacy. In conclusion, the quality of democracy in Cibitung Sub-district requires improvement through strengthening supervision, intensive political education, and reform of the electoral administration system to support more inclusive participation
