<![CDATA[A democratic election is determined not only by the quality of its legal framework and electoral administration but also by the integrity and ethical conduct of election organizers as the executors of the people's sovereignty. This study aims to analyze the role of ethics as the foundation of the integrity of election administrators in promoting a trustworthy democratic system and to examine the effectiveness of the role of the Honorary Council of Election Organizers (Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu/DKPP) in enforcing the code of ethics for election administrators in Indonesia. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and library approaches through the analysis of Law Number 7 of 2017, DKPP Regulation Number 2 of 2017, DKPP decisions, and relevant literature on ethics, integrity, and law enforcement. The findings indicate that ethics serves as the moral foundation guiding the conduct of election administrators, while integrity represents the practical implementation of ethical values in carrying out their duties, authority, and responsibilities. DKPP functions as a quasi-judicial institution authorized to examine, adjudicate, and impose sanctions for violations of the code of ethics in order to uphold the honor, independence, and professionalism of election administrators. Although the existing regulatory framework is relatively comprehensive, ethical violations continue to occur. Therefore, strengthening ethical awareness, internal supervision, professional capacity, and consistent enforcement of sanctions is essential to enhance public trust and to realize a high-quality democratic electoral system in Indonesia.]]>
