Elections in Indonesia are mandated by Article 22E of the 1945 Constitution and regulated by Law No. 7 of 2017 on General Elections. Conducted directly, publicly, freely, secretly, honestly, and fairly, elections affirm that sovereignty rests with the people. The General Election Commission (KPU) of East Kalimantan, established in 2004, supports democracy by providing public access to election information through its office or the e-PPID system. This study examines public information disclosure in the 2024 election at KPU East Kalimantan, focusing on the implementation of Law No. 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure and KPU Regulation No. 01 of 2015 on Public Information Management. Using a qualitative approach, it categorizes election information into periodic, immediate, continuous, and restricted data. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s (1994) interactive model, covering data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that KPU East Kalimantan, through the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID), ensures transparent and accountable election information dissemination via liaison officers from each Secretariat Sub-Section. While further assessment is needed, KPU East Kalimantan remains committed to providing clear and accessible information to the public.
