Abstract

This study aims to examine the practice of money politics in the 2024 Legislative Elections in Alor Regency and its impact on the quality of democracy in the region. Money politics is a crucial issue in the democratic process because it can undermine election integrity, reduce the quality of public political participation, and create injustice in political representation. This practice has the potential to shift voter orientation, from initially choosing based on the vision, mission, and competence of legislative candidates to being more influenced by material offers. The approach used in this study was qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct field observations, and review of relevant documents. In this study, the main participants consisted of voters, legislative candidates, and local political observers. The results of the study indicate that the practice of money politics is still widespread, especially in the run-up to election day. This practice involves giving cash or goods to voters in exchange for votes. The research findings indicate that giving money or goods as compensation leads to a decline in the quality of public political participation. Many voters vote based on the material benefits they receive, rather than the competence or track record of legislative candidates. This has resulted in a decline in public political awareness, with those prioritizing short-term gains over the long-term contributions of legislative candidates to the progress of their regions. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that money politics in the 2024 Legislative Election in Alor Regency negatively impacts local democracy. This practice undermines public trust in the political process, creates dependency between voters and political elites, and undermines democratic values that should be upheld. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening political education in the community and stricter law enforcement against perpetrators of money politics.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the practice of money politics that occurred in the 2024 Legislative Election in Alor Regency and its impact on the quality of democracy in the region. Money politics is a highly relevant issue because it has the potential to undermine the basic principles of democracy, reduce electoral integrity, and create inequities in political representation. This practice generally involves giving money or goods to voters with the aim of influencing their political choices, which of course reduces the quality of public political participation. A qualitative approach was used in this study, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews with various parties involved in the election process, direct field observations, and a review of documents relevant to the elections in Alor Regency. This technique allows for more in-depth data collection and provides a better understanding of how money politics occurs at the local level. The results show that the practice of money politics still frequently occurs in the lead-up to election day, both in the form of giving cash and goods to voters. This phenomenon indicates a decline in the quality of public political participation, where political choices are more influenced by material rewards than by considering the competence of legislative candidates. This indicates a disorientation in the democratic process, where voters focus more on immediate gains than on the capacity and integrity of candidates. The impact of this money politics practice is significant for local democracy. The decline in public trust in the political process exacerbates the dependency between voters and political elites, which in turn leads to inequality in political access and representation. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening political education for the public and stricter law enforcement against perpetrators of money politics to improve the quality of democracy in Alor Regency.
