Abstract

This study is to analyze the methods of preparation and extent of community involvement in the implementation of the Regent and Deputy Regent elections in Southeast Aceh Regency, specifically in Bambel District, in 2024. Regional head elections are a fundamental component of the democratic framework, where active community participation serves as a measure of the efficacy of the democratic process at the local level. This research employs a qualitative methodology using descriptive techniques, including in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation analysis involving election organizers, community leaders, and voters. The study's findings demonstrate that the Independent Election Commission (KIP) and the District Election Committee (PPK) have executed their preparations in accordance with the prescribed steps, despite many technical and social challenges. Meanwhile, community participation shows a positive trend, driven by increased political awareness and the active role of traditional and religious leaders in encouraging residents to exercise their right to vote. However, there are still challenges in the form of apathy among some young voters and the influence of money politics. This study recommends the need to strengthen local-based political education to improve the quality of voter participation in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the existence of local political parties in Aceh in the 2024 general election and to identify the factors influencing their competitiveness against national political parties. The background of this research is rooted in the emergence of local political parties as a product of the 2005 Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which became the foundation for Aceh’s post-conflict political reconstruction. This study employs a qualitative method with a sociocultural approach, utilizing in-depth interviews and literature review. The findings reveal that local political parties continue to play a strategic role in representing Acehnese interests and sustaining post-conflict peace. However, their existence faces significant challenges, including declining electability, increasing competition with national parties, and internal fragmentation among local parties. Key factors affecting this condition include the performance of party cadres, campaign strategies, the influence of key figures (former GAM combatants, religious leaders, and civil actors), as well as the prevalence of money politics. Furthermore, the emergence of new religion-based local parties and the growing participation of young voters have reshaped the political landscape. This study concludes that the sustainability of local political parties in Aceh can no longer rely solely on historical legitimacy, but must be supported by institutional strengthening, cadre professionalism, and adaptability to the dynamics of modern politics.
