Abstract

Indonesia’s electoral process is increasingly influenced by digital transformation, public demand for transparency, and the need to strengthen democratic participation in a complex political and geographical setting. This article aims to examine the concept of smart election governance and its relationship with public participation in Indonesia’s electoral process. The study uses a qualitative research method with a literature-based approach by reviewing relevant academic sources, policy discussions, and conceptual studies related to electoral governance, digital administration, information integrity, and citizen engagement. The findings show that smart election governance is supported by five main dimensions: digital electoral administration, public participation, information integrity, ethical institutional coordination, and collaborative governance among election management bodies, government institutions, civil society, media, digital platforms, and citizens. Digital systems contribute to improving voter data management, logistics monitoring, electoral information access, complaint reporting, and result transparency. However, the study also finds that technological innovation must be accompanied by data protection, digital inclusion, institutional accountability, and civic literacy to prevent misinformation, unequal access, and declining public trust. The article concludes that smart election governance should not be understood merely as the adoption of technology in election management, but as an integrated democratic framework that connects digital innovation, institutional integrity, and active citizen participation. This framework is essential for strengthening transparency, public trust, democratic engagement, and electoral legitimacy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the campaign prop removal policy during the quiet period of the 2024 Regional Head Election in Tanjungpinang City. The issue is important because the quiet period is designed to protect voter autonomy, maintain electoral neutrality, and ensure fairness before voting day. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the policy was implemented, identify the actors involved, and explain the factors that influenced the gap between electoral regulation and field practice. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using secondary data, including regulations, institutional documents, field records, media reports, and visual documentation, analyzed through content analysis and the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation framework. The findings show that although the policy had a clear legal basis, campaign props were still found in several areas of Tanjungpinang City during the quiet period. The implementation gap was influenced by low compliance among campaign actors, limited personnel and time, weak inter-agency coordination, and insufficient early mapping of campaign prop locations. The study concludes that campaign prop removal should be strengthened through preventive mapping, formal notification, joint field monitoring, public reporting, enforcement follow-up, and post-election evaluation to support electoral order, neutrality, and local democratic integrity.
