Abstract

Since the implementation of direct regional head elections (Pilkada) in 2004, the participation of women as candidates, both for the election of governors, regents, mayors and deputies, is still very minimal. In the 2005 and 2010 regional elections, only 26 women were elected. In 2015, of 1,646 eligible candidates, only 123 or 7.47% were women. In 2017, the number of women as candidates decreased to 48 or 7.17%. However, in 2018, female participation increased, with 101 women or 8.85% of the 1,140 candidates who registered. Despite this, the presence of female candidates continues to receive a positive response from the public, as evidenced by the election of women as regional heads and deputy regional heads. In 2005 and 2010, 24 women were elected, while in 2017, the number dropped to 13 or 5.90%. In 2018, 31 women or 9.06% were elected from 342 candidates. Dompu Regency, of the 224 existing districts, is one of the regions that will hold simultaneous regional elections in 2020. The 2020 regional elections are a new history for Dompu Regency because for the first time there are women running as candidates for Regent and Deputy Regent, namely Hj. Eri Aryani as candidate for Regent and Ika Rizky Veriani as candidate for Deputy Regent. This research aims to analyze the strategy implemented by Hj. Eri Aryani in the 2020 simultaneous regional elections. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The research results show that the Eri-HI pair has not been able to carry out an optimal political strategy.

Abstract

This research analyzes the efforts to fulfill the political rights of persons with disabilities in the Malang City election. Persons with disabilities, who may face physical, intellectual, or mental limitations, often encounter barriers in exercising their political rights, even though they are entitled to equal participation in democratic processes. The study aims to evaluate how election stakeholders in Malang City ensure inclusivity in political participation for this marginalized group. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed with the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that the General Election Commission (KPU) of Malang City has implemented several measures to strengthen participation. First, policies were designed and implemented in accordance with existing regulations to guarantee accessibility. Second, socialization activities were conducted to inform persons with disabilities about election procedures, schedules, and mechanisms. Third, the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) provided oversight to ensure compliance and prevent discriminatory practices. Finally, the Malang Inclusion Forum facilitated regular hearings with the KPU every three months to address specific needs and challenges. In conclusion, the combined efforts of policy implementation, targeted socialization, supervision, and stakeholder collaboration have significantly contributed to the fulfillment of political rights for persons with disabilities in Malang City elections, though continuous improvement is still required to ensure full inclusivity.
