Abstract

he occurrence of electoral fraud in Palangka Raya City was a direct finding by the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of Palangka Raya. The case involved the misuse of voting rights, specifically impersonating another person to vote, which constitutes a violation Article 533 of Law No. 7 of 2017 on General Elections. Upon discovering the incident, Bawaslu promptly referred the case to the police investigation team for further legal action. To prevent and address such issues, Bawaslu Palangka Raya has introduced an innovative public outreach program aimed at increasing community participation in election monitoring and preventing electoral violations. This study attempts to investigate the utilization of prevention and enforcement measures related to electoral violations and to identify the challenges in their execution. Using an empirical juridical method through observation, interviews, and online media data analysis, the research found that the implementation of prevention and enforcement efforts is not yet fully effective. Key obstacles include suboptimal inter-agency coordination, limited public awareness, and the constrained time frame for legal proceedings in handling election crimes. Currently, Bawaslu Palangka Raya’s innovation community outreach serves as a short-term solution. This study recommends strengthening supervision and improving inter-agency coordination, with more active communication and cooperation to enhance institutional capacity.

Abstract

The development of the use of the herbal plant kratom as an alternative medicine and fulfillment of health needs continues to increase, both at the national and global levels. One of the herbal plants that attracts attention is one of the plants originating from Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand (Hassan Z et al. 2013). In Buntok City, South Barito Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, kratom has long been used as part of traditional medicine practices by the local community. UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) in 2013 classified kratom as New Psychoactive Substances, then the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) issued Circular Number in 2016 concerning the Prohibition of the Use of Mitragyna speciosa (kratom) in Traditional Medicine and Food Supplements which was later supported by the National Narcotics Agency. This means that kratom leaves were still not prohibited until 2022. This study aims to analyze the legal status of the herbal plant kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) which has psychoactive effects but has not yet been included in the narcotics category in Indonesia. Kratom has been traditionally used in several regions, but lately it has been misused as a psychoactive substance that causes narcotic-like effects. This study uses a normative juridical approach with qualitative methods, through literature studies, and interviews with legal experts and health practitioners. The results show that kratom has not been specifically regulated in Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, although it has the potential to be misused. The recommendation of this research is to strengthen regulations related to kratom, either through revisions to the narcotics law or the creation of special regulations.
