The validity of voting results depends on various factors, one of which is the completeness and validity of the ballot paper, which is one of the important elements in elections that voters use to mark their choices. Based on the circular letter of the Tanjungpinang City General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Number: 136/PM.00.02/K.KR-06/02/2024 there were 2 TPS taking place at TPS 006 and TPS 015 there were 115 x 5 ballot papers that were not signed by KPPS so that the ballot box is open during voting, raising questions regarding its validity and the potential for fraud in the voting process. This research aims to analyze the consequences of not signing the ballot paper and its impact on the validity of the voting results, as well as the conditions for re-voting. The research method that researchers use is normative juridical, namely based on basic legal materials. This research was conducted by examining theories, concepts, legal principles and laws and regulations that are relevant to this research topic. The research results show that there are several factors that cause ballot papers not to be signed, including KPPS negligence, lack of socialization, and misinterpretation of regulations. Thus, re-voting is a step that can be taken to ensure the validity and legitimacy of voting results by considering various factors, including the number of unsigned ballot papers, the potential for fraud, and the impact on democratic stability.

The sampling technique used the slovin technique with a sample determination of 100 people. Data collection techniques in this study through observation, interviews, distribution of questionnaires, and documentation. Furthermore, data processing and analysis techniques use the help of the SPSS program. The stages in data processing and data analysis techniques are testing the quality of research instruments, namely validity and reliability tests . Furthermore, the classical assumption test will be carried out consisting of normality test, multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test . Then, this study will use multiple linear regression analysis techniques. Partial test results on the promotion variable t arithmetic value > t table ( 4.719 > 1.985 ) and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.005 thus H 0 is rejected and H 1 is accepted. Furthermore, the knowledge variable t arithmetic value > t table ( 4.645 > 1.985 ) and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.005 , thus H 0 is rejected and H 1 is accepted. So, the promotion and knowledge variables affect people's interest. While the results of simultaneous testing with the values of the F test results for promotion (X 1 ) and knowledge (X 2 ) simultaneously on public interest (Y) is 0.000 < 0.005 and the calculated F value > F table ( 47 , 160 > 3.09). So it can be concluded that Ha is accepted and H 0 is rejected, which means that there is a significant influence between the promotion variable and the knowledge variable simultaneously on the public interest variable . The implication of this research is that it can increase knowledge and sources of information about the effect of promotion and knowledge on public interest.
