Abstract

The implementation of the 2020 Makassar Mayoral Election shows that the level of political participation is still low. This condition needs to be evaluated by reviewing the extent of the role of various parties in encouraging increased community political participation. Political education is the main key in building public political awareness. The Indonesian Youth National Committee (KNPI) of Makassar City has a role in increasing voter participation through political education. The purpose of this research is to find out the political education of the National Committee of Indonesian Youth (KNPI) Makassar City in increasing voter participation. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, documentation, literature studies and online media. The results showed that the Makassar City KNPI has a role in increasing public political awareness, especially among young voters, through neutral and independent political education. This is realized through cooperation with the KPU and Bawaslu, board development, and physical and digital socialization efforts. However, effectiveness still faces various challenges, such as political apathy, distrust of the system, lack of method development, lack of youth representation in local politics, and the stigma of organizational independence. Therefore, there is a need for greater collaboration and innovative approaches to overcome barriers to youth political participation more effectively.

Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of cyberpolitics as a digital democratic space with a focus on political campaigns through Instagram in the 2024 Makassar Pilwalkot. Social media, especially Instagram, is used intensely by candidate pairs to build a political image and convey work programs visually to the public. On the other hand, millennials, as the dominant social media users, utilise the platform to access political information, interact directly with candidates, and determine voting preferences. Through a literature study approach and content analysis, this research shows that digital space has great potential in expanding horizontal political participation. However, the effectiveness of cyberspace as a democratic arena cannot be separated from challenges such as symbolic participation, algorithm dominance, and digital literacy gaps. Instagram has been proven to facilitate the political participation of the younger generation. However, it has not been able to fully bridge the inequality of political representation due to digital exclusion. By applying the theories of agenda setting, political efficacy, and networked public sphere, this study concludes that the quality of political communication, information disclosure, and the critical capacity of digital citizens largely determine the success of digital democracy in cyberspace.

Abstract

This study explores how exposure to political information through social media influences Indonesian students in India in the 2024 Presidential Election. This study uses a mixed methods approach, combining a quantitative survey of 41 students with in-depth interviews to gain a more comprehensive understanding. Data were collected through online questionnaires and focus group discussions, then analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and thematic analysis. The results show that Instagram and YouTube are the leading platforms for political information, with 56% of respondents stating that they trust the content they consume. This exposure does not necessarily change political preferences but contributes to increasing political awareness, strengthening digital literacy, and fostering critical thinking. The uniqueness of this study lies in its focus on diaspora students, who are relatively rarely touched upon in the literature on digital politics in Indonesia. Unlike domestic voters who are often influenced by viral issues, Indonesian students in India exhibit more reflective information consumption patterns, influenced by their transnational experiences. These findings confirm that social media functions as a cross-border digital democracy space, highlighting the importance of strengthening digital literacy to ensure more conscious, reflective, and quality political participation among the diasporas.

Abstract

The recurrence of single candidate regional head elections in North Bengkulu and Ngawi Regencies in the 2020 and 2024 elections raises questions about the effectiveness of institutional reform in expanding local electoral competition. Although Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 lowered the nomination threshold and theoretically opened wider opportunities for political parties to nominate alternative candidates, this study shows that such institutional change did not automatically alter the configuration of electoral contests in the two regions. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data from official election documents, Constitutional Court decisions, laws and regulations, academic publications, and media reports related to regional head elections in North Bengkulu and Ngawi Regencies. The analysis employs the perspective of political party pragmatism and the office-seeking orientation in coalition formation. The results of the study show that the recurrence of single-candidate elections was shaped by the consolidation of political party support into large coalitions behind dominant candidates who possessed strong political capital, incumbency advantages, wider political networks, and higher electability. Under these conditions, political parties, including smaller parties, tended to prioritize electoral victory and access to power rather than promote alternative candidates. As a result, coalition building became increasingly pragmatic and contributed to the weakening of electoral competition across two consecutive electoral periods. This study shows that the recurrence of single-candidate elections is better understood not merely as an institutional issue, but as a reflection of pragmatic political party behavior in local electoral politics.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan Peraturan Daerah Kota Samarinda Nomor 5 Tahun 2015 tentang Pengelolaan dan Penataan Parkir dalam upaya penertiban parkir liar di Kota Samarinda. Permasalahan parkir liar masih sering terjadi di sejumlah titik strategis dan berdampak pada ketidaktertiban lalu lintas serta menurunnya kenyamanan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, dan dokumentasi dengan informan yang meliputi pejabat Dinas Perhubungan Kota Samarinda, koordinator potensi dan retribusi, juru parkir liar, serta pengguna jasa parkir. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan teori evaluasi kebijakan Evert Vedung yang mencakup model pencapaian tujuan, relevansi, berorientasi pada klien, dan pemangku kepentingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan Perda Nomor 5 Tahun 2015 belum berjalan secara optimal dalam menertibkan parkir liar. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh lemahnya pengawasan, keterbatasan sumber daya, kurangnya ketegasan sanksi, serta rendahnya tingkat kepatuhan masyarakat. Namun demikian, terdapat faktor pendukung berupa koordinasi antarinstansi dan pemanfaatan teknologi komunikasi dalam kegiatan penertiban. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan pengawasan, peningkatan koordinasi lintas instansi, serta optimalisasi sosialisasi kebijakan kepada masyarakat guna meningkatkan efektivitas penertiban parkir liar di Kota Samarinda.
