<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the concept and principles of civil servant neutrality within the Indonesian legal system, examine the implementation of civil servant neutrality in elections, and analyze the mechanisms and effectiveness of law enforcement against violations of civil servant neutrality. This study is motivated by the continuing occurrence of neutrality violations despite the existence of legal provisions that explicitly prohibit civil servants from engaging in practical political activities. This research employs normative legal research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The research data were obtained through a literature review of legislation, scientific journals, research findings, and relevant official documents. The results indicate that, normatively, the principle of civil servant neutrality has a relatively strong legal foundation; however, its implementation remains suboptimal due to political intervention, bureaucratic patronage, weak supervision, and the emergence of violations through social media. Law enforcement mechanisms have also not been fully effective because of weak inter-institutional coordination and insufficient deterrent effects of sanctions. The study concludes that stronger supervision, a merit-based system, institutional coordination, and firm enforcement of sanctions are necessary to establish a professional, independent, and accountable civil service in elections.]]>
