The population was 51 districts/cities of North Sumatera Province that were approaching the election of regional heads (Pilkada) from 2010 to 2015, and all of them were used as the samples, taken by using saturated sampling technique. The data were analyzed by using multiple regression and residual test. The result of the research showed that the variables of Local Dependency Ratio, Intergovernmental Revenue, SiLPA’s Financing, and Fiscal Space Ratio simultaneously had significant influence on the Proportion of Discretionary Fund. Partially, the variable of Local Dependency Ratio did not have any influence on the Proportion of Discretionary Fund, while the variables of Intergovernmental Revenue, SiLPA’s Financing, and Fiscal Space Ratio had positive and significant influence on the Proportion of Discretionary Fund. The status of Regional Heads could not moderate the influence of the variables of Local Dependency Ratio, Intergovernmental Revenue, SiLPA’s Financing, and Fiscal Space Ratio on the Proportion of Discretionary Fund.
