MODEL REKONSTRUKSI TATAKELOLA STRUKTUR KOMISI PEMILIHAN UMUM SUB-NASIONAL
Abstract
The state of provincial KPUs throughout Indonesia shows a marked
imbalance between one another. That can be seen from the responsibility of
dependents as an Electoral Management Body (EMB) that involves the number
of districts, constituencies, and polling stations. Such inequality was barely
realized by the parties because it involved a mental-blocking paradigm, that
the provincial region's administrative basis for the sub-national KPU was
considered non-negotiable.
This study is the first to address inequalities in the coverage of subnational
KPU work areas. Here, using the analytical hierarchy process
approach, an analytical-descriptive method is employed to evaluate the EMB
dependency criterias. The results of a demanding reconstruction, namely the
subnational EMB called the "Regional KPU," were found to be comparatively
balanced in terms of the load from the simulation modeling. Simulations were
carried out for Java, Madura, and Bali, which already covered more than half
the population. The DKI Jakarta Region, which is a special area carrying also
the electoral district abroad, is excepted. The reconstruction solved the EMB
inequality problem with promising results and implications that lost nothing;
even dismantling the constraints of the counter-productive spatial paradigm for
public policy.
