Abstract

The 2024 Presidential Election in Indonesia revealed increasingly dynamic electoral competition shaped by interactions between national political narratives and local political contexts. In Jepara Regency, Prabowo–Gibran won the presidential election despite Gerindra not being the dominant legislative party and despite the strong electoral presence of PPP and PDI-P, creating a political anomaly that challenges conventional assumptions about party strength and presidential voting behavior. Previous studies have focused on candidate branding, digital campaigns, coalition politics, and organizational communication but have not explained electoral variation within the same party organization across different local contexts. This study analyzes Gerindra’s adaptive electoral strategy across three sub-districts with contrasting electoral outcomes in Jepara Regency. Using a qualitative comparative approach based on interviews, documentation, triangulation, and SWOT analysis, the study finds that campaign effectiveness depended on contextual adaptation integrating organizational mobilization, psychological framing, sociological networks, coalition cooperation, and local political communication. The findings contribute to the concept of adaptive electoral strategy by explaining how political organizations adjust campaign resources and communication to heterogeneous local political environments.

Abstract

Football is no longer merely a form of sport and entertainment but has developed into a social arena in which political, cultural, and collective identities interact. This study analyzes the development of football supporter activism as a new form of sociopolitical participation and examines its implications for digital mobilization, club policies, and modern football governance. A qualitative approach was employed through a literature review of scholarly articles, research reports, and other relevant sources. The findings show that supporters have shifted from passive consumers to collective actors with significant social and political influence. Their activism addresses not only club-related interests but also social justice, inclusivity, human rights, and resistance to the excessive commercialization of football. Social media strengthens connective action by enabling rapid coordination across geographical boundaries and integrating online and offline activism. Supporter pressure also encourages clubs to adopt more inclusive, transparent, welfare-oriented, and socially responsible policies. In governance, supporters are increasingly recognized as stakeholders who promote accountability, regulatory reform, and more democratic ownership models. However, excessive commercialization, financial inequality, intergroup conflict, and inadequate digital regulation remain significant challenges. The study advances understanding of supporter activism and calls for adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable football policies.

Abstract

The high incidence of electoral violations during Indonesia’s 2019 General Election and the 2024 Regional Head Elections has raised significant concerns for the Central Java Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in strengthening preventive electoral oversight. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the agency to prevent electoral violations during Indonesia’s 2024 Regional Elections using G. R. Terry’s strategic management theory as the analytical framework. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that the agency implemented four major preventive strategies: strengthening political education and public outreach, promoting participatory electoral supervision, enhancing coordination with relevant stakeholders, and leveraging information technology to improve monitoring effectiveness. Nevertheless, these strategies encountered several challenges, including limited political literacy, inadequate human resources, low public reporting awareness, and budget constraints. The study concludes that these preventive strategies have strengthened electoral governance and contributed to mitigating potential electoral violations, although greater institutional support and innovation in participatory supervision remain essential for improving electoral integrity in future regional elections.
