Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of political communication and voter responses in the 2024 Garut regional election by highlighting differences in campaign strategies, the role of the media, and the influence of local institutions. Drawing on political communication theory—including agenda setting, framing, political storytelling, and populist communication—and a neo-institutionalist approach, this study explains how formal and informal institutions shape the effectiveness of political messages. Using media content analysis, digital discourse analysis, word network visualization, and in-depth interviews, the study finds that the Helmi–Yudi ticket emphasizes an image of experience and stability, while the Syakur–Putri ticket prioritizes a narrative of change through populist and digital strategies. Social media remains a dominant arena in shaping public opinion, while Garut's socio-religious structure continues to influence voter preferences. This research contributes to the development of a model that integrates political communication and neo-institutionalism, while enriching the study of voter behavior at the local level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Padmasari Mestikajati's work as a representation of women in Indonesian politics, particularly in the context of local politics, which is still characterized by low female representation and strong structural barriers such as patriarchal culture, male elite domination, limited access to political resources, and the placement of female candidates in non-strategic positions. Focusing on Padmasari's campaign strategies and legislative contributions in the Central Java Provincial House of Representatives (DPRD), this study uses descriptive qualitative methods through interviews, observations, and literature studies to examine the dynamics of local politics and gender policies. The results show that Padmasari's success in retaining her legislative seat for two terms was not only influenced by her personal political capital (political kinship and educational background), but also by her ability to optimize adaptive and contextual campaign strategies, as well as the support of the 30% affirmative action quota policy that increased women's representation. Unlike many female politicians who stop at descriptive representation, Padmasari demonstrates substantive representation through the initiation of pro-women policies, particularly the advocacy for the provision of lactation rooms and the strengthening of kindergarten education infrastructure. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of examining female figures who are not only electorally successful but also capable of transforming representation into concrete policies, thereby contributing theoretically and empirically to the development of studies on women's representation in local politics in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the symbolic meaning behind the choice of the "empty box" (kotak kosong) among young voters in the 2024 regional election (Pilkada) in Gresik, where only one candidate was on the ballot. Rather than seeing this choice as political apathy, this research interprets it as a conscious act of resistance and a demand for genuine political representation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and symbolic interactionism theory, the study examines how young voters construct political meaning through their decision to vote for the empty box. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants aged 17–25 who reside in Gresik and intentionally voted for the empty box. The findings reveal that their decisions were shaped by critical reflection, peer discourse, and disillusionment with the lack of electoral competition. The act of selecting the empty box is understood as a symbolic expression of frustration, political identity, and expectations for democratic renewal. This study contributes by offering an empirical explanation of how symbolic political choices function as a form of youth resistance, a dimension rarely discussed in previous research on uncontested elections in Indonesia. It also provides a nuanced interpretation of the empty-box vote as a meaning-making process rather than a mere protest action.

Abstract

This study critically examines the implementation of One Data Indonesia in the health sector, with a particular focus on the SATUSEHAT platform, within Indonesia’s decentralized governance framework. While One Data Indonesia has been promoted as a cornerstone of evidence-based policymaking and digital health transformation, its implementation in underdeveloped and fiscally constrained regions remains uneven. Good data governance is vital for effective healthcare delivery as it enables informed decision-making and enhances accountability. Without proper data governance, timely and accurate information dissemination becomes challenging, hindering the design, monitoring, and evaluation of effective policies. This necessitates addressing various aspects of data governance in health, such as data fragmentation in healthcare facilities to central institutions. This study uses qualitative methods with a case approach, including data collection techniques and secondary documents. This research finds that local governments face numerous challenges in aligning with national policies, including limited regional fiscal capacity, administrative constraints, and human resource shortages. They often rely heavily on central government transfers. Additionally, the capacity of local agencies in data management still needs to be improved. In essence, the narrative underscores that good data governance is a collective endeavor, requiring the active and informed participation of diverse stakeholders. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirically grounded insights into how decentralization conditions digital health data governance in developing countries.
