Abstract

Abstract: The phenomenon of "empty box" ballots in Indonesia's regional head elections (Pilkada) reflects public dissatisfaction with single candidates endorsed by political party coalitions. This highlights challenges within the local democratic system, which may hinder political participation and contribute to social instability. Purpose: This research aims to understand how the phenomenon of "empty box" ballots reflects the practice of political cartelization in Indonesia, as well as to explore the factors contributing to the emergence of single candidates and large coalitions in elections. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology employed in this research includes a qualitative analysis of national and local political dynamics, as well as an observation of voter behavior in the context of regional elections (Pilkada). The study also examines the implications of the "empty box" phenomenon for democratization and political representation at the regional level. Findings: The research findings indicate that the "empty box" phenomenon is not merely a matter of failed elections but also reflects a crisis of public trust in political institutions. Deep dissatisfaction with the available candidates has the potential to trigger radicalization and protest movements. Furthermore, the dominance of major political parties in candidate nomination disregards local aspirations, creating conditions where the nominated candidates fail to reflect the diversity of the community. Originality/value: This research offers new insights into the relationship between the "empty box" phenomenon and political cartelization practices in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for electoral system reforms to create a more inclusive space for public participation. By enhancing political awareness and strengthening smaller political parties, it is hoped that public dissatisfaction can be reduced, and the legitimacy of the political system can be improved.

Abstract

Election is a democratic means to elect leaders and representatives of the people, where Bawaslu has a strategic role as an election supervisory institution. Bawaslu is tasked with ensuring that each stage of the election is in accordance with laws and regulations, with the legal basis listed in Law No. 7 of 2017. As a quasi-judicial institution, Bawaslu has the authority to issue decisions that are final and binding. However, in practice, the implementation of follow-up to Bawaslu decisions often faces challenges, such as disobedience or suboptimal implementation by the KPU and related parties. This study aims to examine the urgency of legal certainty in supervising the implementation of Bawaslu decisions and to determine the ideal model of supervision to fulfill the principle of legal certainty. The method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach, with primary and secondary data sources. The results of the study show that there is a legal vacuum that hinders the optimal implementation of the decision. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency of an integrated supervision model with strict evaluation and sanction mechanisms, which can increase compliance with Bawaslu decisions and ensure the implementation of elections in accordance with legal provisions.
