Identity politics is a tool of political struggle for an ethnic group to achieve certain goals. The phenomenon of a social movement of relative deprivation carried out in connection with the cancellation or postponement of regional head elections is the result of aspirations that have not been realized.

The implementation of the efficiency policy of affirmation policy in Indonesia provides room for 30% of the number of women legislative candidates who are advancing at the regional and central levels. The policy is realized in the regulation of political contestation in Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning elections. The KPU and political parties must be able to ensure that the fulfillment of this regulation takes place for the sake of fair elections. However, the existence of this Law does not necessarily make women's representation pass the Legislative general election.

Secondary data is obtained from books, laws and regulations, and the internet. The results of this study show that 1) Women's representation in the legislative general election in East Manggarai district in 2019 has met the 30% quota, but only 1 person from 157 female legislative candidates has qualified to become a legislative member. 2) Factors that inhibit women's representation in the legislature are legal structure, legal substance and legal culture.  

Elections serve as a crucial pillar of democracy, allowing citizens to participate in the selection of leaders and shaping national policies. In Indonesia, the General Election Commission (KPU) is responsible for organizing elections, ensuring that the process is transparent, fair, and accountable. Understanding public perceptions of the KPU's performance is vital for evaluating the success and legitimacy of the democratic process, particularly in regions like Benowo District, Surabaya, which reflects the broader dynamics of local democracy. This study employs a qualitative methodology to explore and interpret the views and experiences of the public regarding the KPU's performance in the 2024 Election. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with community leaders and direct observation of the election process. The qualitative approach allows for a comprehensive analysis of the complex and nuanced perceptions held by the community. The findings reveal that the public in Benowo District generally holds a positive perception of the KPU's performance, appreciating the orderliness, transparency, and efficiency of the electoral process. However, challenges such as logistics management were identified, indicating areas where the KPU can improve in future elections. These insights are crucial for enhancing the quality of electoral administration and strengthening the democratic process in Indonesia.

Invite. Although it can also be autodidactic, education frequently takes place with the assistance of other people as well as biological parents. Preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, and finally college, university, or apprenticeship are the typical phases of education. Another important factor in a region's development is education. Therefore, a decision support system that can make suggestions for choosing state institutions and study programs is required for West Sumba Regency SMA/Vocational Schools. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach is used to weight the value of each criterion, and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is used to calculate the weighted total or to order the alternatives from best. The weights of each alternative—a state university or study program—along with all of its features are added up to determine recommendations for selecting one. The chosen option will be indicated by a higher value. This system generates a report on the outcomes of management decisions, which includes the management's selections based on all options arranged from greatest to smallest SAW value. MySQL and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 were used to develop the decision support system suggestions for choosing state colleges and study programs for the database.    

General elections (elections) in Indonesia are a major pillar of democracy that require strict supervision and management to ensure fairness and transparency. Independent institutions such as the General Election Commission (KPU), the Election Supervisory Body (BAWASLU), and the Election Organizer Honorary Council (DKPP) play a key role in maintaining election integrity. The KPU is responsible for organizing elections at all levels of government, including planning, implementing, and supervising election stages, with a focus on transparency and public participation.

The method used in this study is Library Research and Internet Searching, a literature review of literature in the form of books and articles from relevant internet sources. The results of the analysis show that the synergy between the KPU, BAWASLU, and DKPP is very important in creating democratic and integrity-based elections, with each institution having a role or authority, responsibility, and complementary functions. A deep understanding of the duties and functions of these three institutions is expected to improve the quality of election implementation in Indonesia.

The election supervision function is the authority of Bawaslu, thus Bawaslu needs participatory supervision. The participatory supervision carried out by Bawaslu is by involving community groups such as NGOs, and other organizations. Therefore, Bawaslu Bintan formed Saka Adhyasta Pemilu to assist in overseeing the implementation of elections and following up on violations that occur. This study aims to evaluate the quality of participatory supervision carried out by Saka Adhyasta Pemilu in the 2024 elections in Bintan Regency. The research method used is qualitative with data collection through interviews, field notes, and official documents. There are 4 indicators of participatory supervision according to Pasaribu (2011), namely monitoring, inspection, guidance and direction, and correction. The results showed that the indicators of monitoring, inspection, and correction were still not effective, as seen from the lack of violation reports submitted to Bawaslu by Saka Adhyasta Pemilu. However, in the guidance and direction indicator, it has proven effective because Bawaslu has provided education on monitoring and preventing disputed violations in the 2024 elections in Bintan Regency. The factors that make participatory supervision carried out by Saka Adhyasta Pemilu not run well are because of their young age, lack of critical attitude, lack of experience and minimal knowledge of elections.

The research method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out through interviews with several informants who were related to the research. The results of the research show that the non-voting behavior carried out by the people of Kote Village is caused by several things, namely the attitude of the community who are less concerned about the ongoing Village Head Election which is based on the lack of influence of the Village Head Election on the community. Some communities find it difficult to contribute to village policy making and do not understand the ongoing village election system. Apart from that, there are people who believe that the Village Head candidate they support will win or lose in the ongoing Village Head Election so they feel there is no need to come to vote. However, the reason why most people in Kote Village do not vote is because of work factors that cannot be left behind due to economic needs and educational factors, especially students who study outside the area and are unable to return to Kote Village to carry out the Village Head election.

In addition, people's cultural tendencies that tend to be skeptical of new technology can influence the acceptance of E-voting. Therefore, a comprehensive study and gradual preparation are needed to optimize the implementation of E-voting.
