Tinjauan Yuridis Tanggung Jawab Komisi Pemlihan Umum (Kpu) Dalam Meningkatkan Partisipasi Masyarakat Pada Pemilihan Umum Serentak
ABSTRACT
The General Election Commission (KPU) juridically has the responsibility of organizing the democratic party stage commonly known as elections. Thus, the main key in the successful implementation of elections lies in the hands of the KPU, this is regulated in Law Number 17 of 2017 concerning General Elections. Voter participation is often interpreted as an indicator of electoral success in various electoral histories in Indonesia. One of the factors of low political participation in the community is due to socialization which is only carried out ahead of simultaneous elections. Not only that, the KPU is still not optimal in providing understanding and awareness for voters to participate in simultaneous elections and socialize about elections.
This research is a normative legal research. This is based on literature research that takes excerpts from reading books, or supporting books that have something to do with the problem to be studied. This study used secondary data sources consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary book materials. This study also used qualitative data analysis and produced descriptive data.
From the results of the research and discussions carried out, there are several conclusions obtained, namely: First, the responsibility of the KPU in increasing public participation in simultaneous elections has not run optimally and there are still shortcomings in carrying out its duties and responsibilities in accordance with applicable regulations. Second, the factors inhibiting the KPU in increasing public participation in simultaneous elections include geographical location, lack of role of political parties, community mindset, problems with the Daftar Pemilih Tetap List (DPT), obstacles when conducting socialization, limited human resources owned by the KPU, and negative public views on elections. Third, the ideal concept of KPU in increasing community participation in the 2024 simultaneous general elections consists of various efforts that can be done including, carrying out socialization of Goes to Campus and Goes to School, socialization with assisted citizens, forming democratic cadres and embracing community and youth organizations, the use of social media and mass media, dissemination of information through props, socialization of mobile cars, methods of socialization with electiontainment, democracy ambassador programs, and working with educational agencies and work environments to disseminate A5 forms. The author's suggestion is that there is a need to strengthen the KPU institution as a whole by creating a new legal rule or a separate KPU regulation regarding the KPU's responsibility in increasing community participation, so that later related to the functions and authorities of the KPU will be stronger, especially in increasing public awareness to participate in simultaneous elections, so that later a legal certainty and rules are guaranteed by individuals and the community in political participation.
