<![CDATA[This study examines the practice of money politics as a threat to the integrity of Indonesian democracy by using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data in this study was obtained from various secondary sources, including official documents, reports of survey institutions, scientific journals, and laws and regulations related to elections in Indonesia. The data collection method was carried out through a literature review, while the data analysis used a descriptive-analytical approach to explore the causative factors, forms of money politics practices, and their impact on the democratic system in Indonesia. The results of the study show that money politics contributes to low leadership quality, decreases public political participation, worsens political polarization, and strengthens the culture of corruption in government. To address this problem, a comprehensive strategy is needed, including firmer law enforcement, improved political education for the public, and reform of the electoral system and campaign financing. It is evident that collective efforts from the government, the community, and non-governmental organizations are needed to ensure the sustainability of a clean and integrity democracy in Indonesia.]]>
