Abstract

This study analyzes the voting behavior of Chinese people in the 2024 Presidential Election in Sei Rengas I Village. The main focus is to understand the socio-political dynamics of minority ethnic groups in the context of Indonesian democracy, especially related to political participation and the influence of cultural values in political decision-making. Using qualitative descriptive methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies of the local Chinese community. Based on the theory of voting behavior that includes sociological, psychological, and rational approaches, the results of the study show the dominance of a combination of sociological and rational approaches. Sociologically, voting behavior is strongly influenced by family and community factors. In the rational approach, economic factors are the main consideration, where voters make rational calculations regarding the candidate's ability to overcome economic challenges. Chinese voters show a tendency to be increasingly intelligent and selective in determining their choice of president, considering the economic programs offered. The study also reveals an increase in political awareness among the Chinese community which encourages more active participation in the democratic process, potentially creating a more inclusive political environment and contributing to the country's economic stability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Batak Toba traditional leaders in shaping voting behavior during the 2022 village head election in Ujung Serdang Village, as well as to reveal their significant role in influencing the political behavior of local residents. The research was conducted in Ujung Serdang Village, a community with a strong Batak Toba population that upholds traditional cultural values, despite being situated in a modern urban area. The subjects of the study include influential traditional leaders and residents of Ujung Serdang Village. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques comprising structured interviews, literature review, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through stages of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that traditional leaders play a crucial role as agents of political socialization in influencing voting behavior during the Ujung Serdang village head election. Their roles include mobilizing, guiding, supervising, and engaging in decision-making. This influence is rooted in local cultural values such as Dalihan Na Tolu, which serves as a moral and social compass in leadership selection. However, the dynamics of voting behavior in Ujung Serdang show a shift, where rational considerations based on the candidates' visions, missions, and programs are becoming more dominant, surpassing purely social or emotional ties. This dominance of a rational approach reflects a growing political awareness and a desire among the community to elect leaders who offer real change and tangible progress. Although traditional leaders remain significant as mediators, agents of political socialization, and guardians of customary norms, their influence increasingly depends on the ability of the candidates they support to persuade voters with measurable ideas and plans. The interaction between traditional authority and voter rationality ultimately shapes the election outcome, reflecting an evolution in the democratic process at the local level.
