Asia-Pacific Journal of Elections and Democracy (APJED) invites theoretical, empirical, and policy-relevant submissions that cover various aspects of electoral processes and/or problems of democratization in Asia-Pacific. APJED has a multidisciplinary focus, and we, therefore, accept manuscripts grounded in political science, economics, anthropology, cultural and gender studies, history and other related fields. We also have a broad understanding of democracy, ranging from the dynamics of grassroots activism to the operations of elite politics. APJED welcomes both single-country and cross-national comparative studies. APJED practices peer review; the editors-in-chief first conduct an initial review and, if considered of sufficient quality, subsequently send the submission to external referee(s).

Abstract

Indigenous communities in elections in Indonesia are very important for the legitimacy of the election results. The role of indigenous communities has often been used for voter participation. However, election organizers, political parties, and the government rarely discuss the role of indigenous communities as election monitors or supervisors. This article outlines how the involvement and civic engagement carried out by the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) contributed to the participation of the Kalitanjung indigenous community in the supervision of the 2019 presidential and legislative elections. This study employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and literature studies. The conclusion of the results of the study shows that the indigenous people of Kalitanjung have already obeyed norms, cultures, and traditions about behaving kindness according to the message of the lelulur, such as steadfast waton (obedient to the leader and the legitimate government), not jumawa (arrogant), not disbursing (taking the goods and rights of others), and being ready to die as cool as urip (can die at that time) if it violates the rules. They also respect state regulations in the form of election laws in their capacity as Indonesian citizens.

Abstract

There were a few issues with how the General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum, or KPU) followed up with the Election Supervisory Agency (Badan Pengawas Pemilu, or Bawaslu) in carrying out the dispute resolution for the 2020-2021 regional elections (Pemilihan Umum Kepala Daerah, or Pilkada). These issues were raised by the petitioners in their lawsuit before the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi, or MK). The petition suggests that there is a critical issue in the distribution of authority between Bawaslu and KPU. Similarly, the Court cannot resist adopting the KPU and Bawaslu's control over difficulties that continuously grow during elections. Reflecting on this situation, this study analyzes and investigates the KPU's and Bawaslu's positions of authority as the organizers of the regional election, as well as the Court's position regarding the follow-up to Bawaslu's recommendations. This is a normative legal study based on literature. The KPU and Bawaslu have equal jurisdiction in resolving administrative violations of the Regional Election. KPU decisions are founded on Bawaslu recommendations, and vice versa; Bawaslu suggestions constitute a type of control over the KPU before it goes through the decision-making process. The Court will decide whether or not to implement Bawaslu's suggestions on a case-by-case basis, based on the concept of benefit and prioritizing legitimacy and purity of voice, rather than rigidly applying the regulations.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology influences the practice of elections in many countries since AI technology can influence a country's electoral result and process, as was the case in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, in which Donald Trump ended up winning. The use of AI technology in campaign activities that can effectively convince voters to vote for Trump is one of the reasons for his triumph. This event is also inextricably linked to AI-influenced election tactics in Indonesia, such as the deployment of bot accounts and deep fakes during the election. This situation occurred as a result of the election candidates' usage of AI technology. Such misuse of AI generates democratic challenges, specifically unfair elections. Therefore, it is necessary to create a robust framework to govern AI technology and its use in the Indonesian electoral process. The article addresses the following issues: (a) the development of AI technology and its nexus to elections; (b) the impact of AI technology on the election principles; (c) the urgency of regulating AI in elections; and (d) the opportunities and challenges of regulating AI technology in Indonesia's legal system. The article concludes that AI technology continues to pose a threat to democratic election principles if Indonesia does not provide sufficient legal instruments to address issues arising from the misuse of AI technology in Indonesia's election process.

Abstract

This study investigates how different legislative electoral codes have evolved since the Reformasi era and how they impact the multiparty system in Indonesia. The study employs a qualitative approach and examines secondary data sources through a literature review. The research uncovers two main findings. Firstly, the legislative election system in Indonesia has experienced significant changes since the Reformasi era of 1998, including variations in proportional system models, district magnitude, electoral and parliamentary thresholds, and electoral formulas. Secondly, changes in the legislative electoral format are likely to influence the structure of the multiparty system in the DPR. To assess the impact of electoral system changes on the multiparty system in the post-Reformasi parliament, the study utilizes the effective number of parties and the Laakso and Taagepera Index. However, the results indicate an insignificant effect.
