Evaluation of Efforts and Obstacles in Increasing Voter Participation of Persons with Disabilities in the 2024 Elections
The success of general elections (elections) is highly dependent on high voter turnout, which guarantees the legitimacy of the government and protects the voting rights of all citizens, including people with disabilities. This study aims to analyze the efforts of the Riau Provincial General Election Commission (KPU) in increasing the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 elections. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, this study determined informants through purposive sampling techniques to obtain in-depth data from relevant sources. The results show that the Riau Provincial KPU has made various efforts to increase the participation of voters with disabilities, but the results have not been optimal. The participation rate of this group in the region remains low due to various obstacles. The steps that have been taken include intensive socialization to voters with disabilities, coordination with relevant agencies such as local governments and organizations for persons with disabilities, the formation of democracy volunteers, and the opening of opportunities for persons with disabilities to become election organizers. The KPU also strives to create accessible elections by providing facilities such as assistive devices and disability-friendly polling locations. However, serious challenges remain, such as family factors that limit mobility, economic constraints that hinder access to transportation, and budget limitations that restrict resources. This study emphasizes the importance of a more comprehensive approach and strong synergy between the government, the disability community, and other stakeholders to create an inclusive election environment. Thus, all citizens, especially persons with disabilities, can actively participate in the democratic process, ensuring fair and representative elections.

Does Idle Cash Utilization Increase Local Own-Source Revenue? Evidence From Bantul, 2023-2024
Abstract Effective development is ultimately determined not only by the quality of human resources but also by the adequacy of financial resources. The objective and focus of this study are to examine in a more in-depth and contextual manner the effectiveness of regional cash management, particularly in regions with relatively high fiscal dependency such as Bantul Regency. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research approach. The theoretical framework is based on Regional Financial Management theory and its relationship with idle cash. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of regional cash management through the utilization of idle cash in Bantul Regency during the 2023–2024 period can be classified as effective, as evidenced by an increase in interest income from fund placements contributing to Regional Original Revenue (PAD), although the proportion remains below 1%. The low contribution reflects fiscal efficiency, as cash funds are not excessively idle, while cash management policies and systems have been implemented in an orderly, secure, and regulation-compliant manner.

Evaluation of Voter Data Determination for the 2024 Elections in Tambang Subdistrict
This study aims to evaluate the voter data determination system in the implementation of the 2024 General Election in Tambang District, Kampar Regency as a crucial mechanism for ensuring citizens’ voting rights. The research employs a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving election administrators and voters, and analyzed using the interactive analysis model developed by Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that, normatively, the voter data determination system has been implemented in accordance with Law Number 7 of 2017 and General Election Commission Regulation Number 7 of 2022, encompassing the stages of DP4 preparation, voter matching and verification, DPS compilation, and DPT establishment. Although relatively effective in improving data accuracy, challenges remain, such as outdated population data, limited resources, low public participation, and weak inter-agency coordination. Keywords: Voter Data Determination, Voter List, General Election, Election Administration
Analysis of the Implementation of the MBDK Excise Policy: Effective Efforts to Reduce Diabetes and Obesity Among the Community
Changes in modern consumption patterns, characterized by increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), contribute to the rise in the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases, particularly obesity and diabetes mellitus. This situation calls for effective public health policy interventions, one of which is the implementation of SSB taxation. This study aims to examine the PSB tax policy as a government instrument to reduce excessive sugar consumption and reduce the risk of related diseases. This study uses a literature review approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data sources were obtained from national and international journal articles, World Health Organization reports, and government policy documents relevant to sugar consumption, non-communicable diseases, and PSB tax policies. The analysis was conducted through literature selection, grouping of main themes, synthesis of findings, and comparison of policy implementation in various contexts. The results of the study show that MBDK consumption plays a significant role in increasing daily sugar intake and the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The application of MBDK excise tax has been proven to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks, encourage product reformulation by industry, and has the potential to reduce sugar exposure at the population level. However, the effectiveness of the policy is greatly influenced by the excise tariff design, product coverage, and integration with supporting policies such as nutrition education and food labeling. The literature also identifies a number of challenges, including industry resistance, the potential for regressive effects on low-income groups, and limited effectiveness if not accompanied by complementary policies. Therefore, a comprehensive, evidence-based policy approach supported by continuous monitoring and evaluation mechanisms is needed for MBDK taxes to function optimally as a public health instrument. Keywords: SSB-PF taxation, sugar-sweetened beverages, diabetes, obesity, health policy, fiscal intervention
Pancasila Leadership Innovation: Reorienting Apparatus HRD for Digital Bureaucracy Transformation
The era of digital bureaucratic transformation requires civil servants (ASN) to not only master technical competencies, but also have a solid foundation of leadership ethics. This study explores the reorientation of human resource (HR) development for civil servants through the innovation of Pancasila Leadership as a response to the challenges of digital disruption. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review and policy analysis approach, this study analyses how Pancasila values can be integrated into the digital leadership (e-leadership) model. The findings show that Pancasila Leadership acts as an ethical compass that prevents the dehumanisation of bureaucracy due to automation. The reorientation of HRD must shift from mere digital literacy to strengthening Agile Leadership capacities that are characterised by mutual cooperation and oriented towards public service motivation. This article recommends an integrated human resource development model that synergises artificial intelligence (AI) with the nation's noble values to create a world-class bureaucracy that remains rooted in the Indonesian national identity. Keywords: Pancasila Leadership, Human Resource Development, Digital Bureaucracy
Implementation of Population Control and Family Planning Policy at the Office of Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning of Banda Aceh City
Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine how the Population Control and Family Planning Policy is implemented by the Office of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, Population Control, and Family Planning in Banda Aceh City. The research applies a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings show both supporting and inhibiting factors in policy implementation, including resources, communication, and organizational structure.The research focuses on three main questions: how the policy is implemented, what supporting and inhibiting factors exist, and what strategies can be applied to improve its implementation. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews using an interview guide. Informants included institutional leaders, family planning field officers, and other relevant stakeholders. Data were analyzed by categorizing responses, classifying findings, and reviewing interview transcripts and audio recordings based on source and date. The findings reveal that policy implementation is influenced by four key aspects: communication, which ensures clarity of program delivery, methods, objectives, and target groups; resources, including adequate personnel, facilities, and infrastructure; disposition or attitude, reflected in motivation, commitment, and the use of rewards and punishments; and organizational structure, supported by technical guidelines, regulations, and implementation manuals. Supporting factors include sufficient facilities, competent human resources, and clear regulations, while constraints are primarily limited budgets and the lack of competence among some implementers. Strategies to strengthen policy implementation involve continuous socialization, expanding outreach to various partners, and collaborative approaches with religious, traditional, and community leaders. This study highlights the importance of synergy between communication, resources, attitudes, and organizational structures in ensuring the success of population control and family planning programs in Banda Aceh City.

Verification Process for DPD Member Candidacy in Riau Province Through The SILON Application in 2024
Research shows that the process of verifying the candidacy of DPD members in Riau Province through the SILON application effectively improves the efficiency of election administration. However, in reality, a number of problems have arisen that need attention. One of the main problems identified as evidence from the research is disruption to access to the SILON server, which causes delays in document verification and confirmation of registrant status, so that the verification process does not run smoothly according to the set schedule. Additionally, the lack of understanding and skills in using SILON among human resources within the Riau Provincial Election Commission (KPU) also acts as a barrier, as both technical and non-technical obstacles affect the accuracy and speed of data input and document verification. These findings indicate that while SILON technology can enhance administrative efficiency, the need for improvements in technological infrastructure and user capacity is crucial to optimizing SILON's role as a digital democracy tool. The implications of these findings emphasize the need for improved technical infrastructure, efforts to restore and maintain more stable server access, and ongoing training programs for human resources to ensure that candidate verification can be conducted accurately, on time, and responsively to the dynamics of the election.
Polarization of Issues Related to Permanent Voter Data (DPT) and Its Impact on Governance
Recurring issues surrounding the permanent voter list (DPT) in general and local elections in Indonesia reflect systemic weaknesses in election governance. This study aims to map the polarization of issues related to the DPT and analyze their impact on public administration. A qualitative literature review was conducted on 47 selected journal articles obtained through Google Scholar as the main entry point due to its accessibility and broad coverage. Various types of sources, including journal articles, theses, reports, and preprints, were used, enabling researchers to capture a more diverse literature landscape, especially in local or regional contexts where publications are not always indexed in paid databases; the ease of initial filtering also meant faster results when searching for specific keywords, allowing researchers to compile an initial list of relevant articles for further screening; and the diversity of languages and sources enabled the discovery of Indonesian or regional works that are often underrepresented in international paid databases, making them relevant for local studies on DPT and governance. The findings show that Voter List issues can be categorized into three types of polarization: structural versus cultural, technological versus manual, and centralization versus decentralization. These issues lead to reduced electoral legitimacy, budget inefficiency, and declining public trust. In conclusion, voter list issues are not merely administrative problems but also serious threats to the quality of democracy and effective governance. Comprehensive reforms involving strengthened regulations, institutional capacity building, and technological optimization are urgently needed to enhance the integrity of voter data in future elections.
Strategic Implementation of the IMT-GT Subregional Cooperation Blueprint 2022-2026 in Jambi Province
The Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) is a subregional cooperation initiative established in 1993 by the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, aiming to accelerate economic transformation in less-developed provinces. IMT-GT meetings serve as a key building block for cooperation within ASEAN. Jambi Province, one of the 10 Indonesian provinces included in the IMT-GT program, is expected to benefit from the implementation of this initiative. The IMT-GT Blueprint for 2022-2026, which serves as the framework for subregional cooperation over the next five years, was finalized in 2022. Indonesia has outlined five main strategies for this blueprint: (1) economic corridor approach and regional integration, (2) promoting private sector participation, (3) supporting inclusive growth, (4) adopting green, blue, and circular economic developments, and (5) institutional adjustments across sectors. Jambi Province has developed a designated area known as Sentusa (Sengeti, Tungkal, Sabak) to support the implementation of these strategies. This study focuses on the strategies employed by the provincial government of Jambi to implement the IMT-GT framework. This research uses an exploratory descriptive method, gathering data from primary informants and secondary literature sources.
The Application of the Principle of Consensualism in Movable Property Sales Agreements Based on the Burgerlijk Wetboek (BW) : A Normative Legal Study of Business Practices and Legal Certainty for the Parties
A sale and purchase agreement is one of the most dominant forms of agreement in business practice and social life, so that legal certainty regarding its validity and implementation is crucial. In civil law, the principle of consensualism is a fundamental principle that determines the birth of an agreement. However, in the practice of buying and selling movable goods, problems often arise related to the understanding of this principle, especially regarding the legal consequences when one party does not fulfill the agreement. This study aims to analyze the application of the principle of consensualism in the sale and purchase agreement of movable goods from a civil law perspective and examine the legal consequences for parties who violate this principle. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach, through a study of the Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and the doctrine of contract law. The results of the study indicate that contract law in the Burgerlijk Wetboek firmly adheres to the principle of consensualism, as regulated in Article 1458 of the Civil Code, which states that a sale and purchase is deemed to have occurred since an agreement regarding goods and price was reached, even though the goods have not been delivered and the price has not been paid. Thus, from the moment an agreement is entered into, the agreement is binding on the parties and has legal consequences. Violations of this agreement can be classified as breach of contract, which can result in legal consequences in the form of demands for performance, compensation, or cancellation of the agreement in accordance with applicable law. Keywords: Implementation, Principle of Consensualism, Agreement

Victory of Non-Elite Candidates in Electoral Contestations: An Analysis of Tibrani's Elections in The 2024 Legislative Election
This study analyzes the political strategy of Tibrani, a non-elite cadre of the National Awakening Party (PKB), in winning the 2024 Legislative Election in Tengah Ilir Subdistrict, Tebo Regency, Jambi Province. The case contests the notion that economic capital and elite status alone determine political victory. Using a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design and an explanatory method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. Findings reveal that Tibrani succeeded by engineering social capital, orchestrating social networks, and building a participatory ecosystem. His political communication emphasized narrative, multichannel messaging, and collective identity. The study concludes that non-elite actors can succeed electorally through participatory strategies and community-based approaches. This research contributes to the discourse on alternative political strategies in local democracy.
Women's Representation in Regional Elections: Gendered Institutions' Perspective on Political Design and Practice
Women's political representation in local elections (PILKADA) indicates the quality of democracy and the level of gender equality in political institutions. Although gender quotas have increased the number of female candidates, their substantive representation remains low. This study aims to analyze how gendered political institutions influence a qualitative approach based on secondary data research and thematic analysis. Additionally, it examines the elements of gender-focused institutions identified by Joan Acker, which include division of labor, division of power, symbols and discourses, interpersonal relations, and internal mental work. The results prove that structural and cultural challenges still limit women's participation in the electoral political arena. (1) Division of labor, women tend to be pushed into non-strategic campaign roles, strengthening traditional role stereotypes, (2) division of power, women's access to decision-making is limited due to the dominance of male political elites and political dynasties; (3) symbols and discourses, campaign narratives and public representation are still gender-biased, limited to considering women's existence as supporters not leaders; (4) interpersonal relations, informal political networks are masculine and exclusive, marginalizing women from power networks and (5) internal mental work, that social norms and internal expectations create hesitation for women to show themselves as major political actors. Based on these results above, this research can strengthen the understanding that increasing women's representationin quantity is not enough without being accompanied by institutional transformation and political culture. In addition, this study also emphasizes that there needs to be a comprehensive reform of political design and practice to be more inclusive of women's leadership.
China Ambition Through Digital Silk Road and Its Impact to Indonesia
Focusing on the Digital Silk Road (DSR) initiative, this study analyzes the China's ambition through DSR and its impact to Indonesia, particularly in developing digital connectivity in Indonesia.

The Involution of Democracy Post-Reform: Indonesian Case
Besides causing political stagnation, the involution of democracy in post-reform Indonesia also potentially produces a return to an absolute system of government. However, this topic remains underexplored in scholarly discussions. In response to gaps in previous studies, this research focuses on how the involution of democracy has been experienced in post-reform Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach rooted in the forms, factors, and implications of involution, this study highlights three key findings. First, political access in post-reform Indonesia is still under the power of the rulers. Second, prospective leaders in post-reform Indonesia's general elections are still dominated by the elite. Third, the upper class still dominates leaders elected in general elections in post-reform Indonesia. By mapping three key findings, the article sheds light on the involution of democracy experienced by Indonesia in the post-reform era, which appears in the form of stagnation of the political system, so that political access and the characteristics of the resulting leaders tend to ignore the process and principles of democratic values.

Clientelism of the Idea of Young Voters in Creating Substantial Democracy in the 2024 General Election
As a tactical step away from the concept of democracy, general elections in Indonesia are always faced with the practice of political clientelism.These problems are certainly a warning of the death of substantial democracy. Amid these threats, the 2024 general election has a different vote map from previous periods, where the proportion of young voters exceeds 50% of the national vote. This study aims to see the potential role that young voters can play in the 2024 general election to create substantial democracy. This article is a literature study through collecting library data, reading, recording, and processing research materials. In general, this article finds that young voters have a fairly high level of concern for environmental and climate issues after the issue of corruption. In particular, this article shows that climate and environmental issues can become a political narrative that encourages the creation of substantial democracy in the 2024 general election. In the pattern of political clientelism, the 2024 general election can form substantial democracy through the propositions of young voters and their interests, which will form a political narrative based on ideas.

The Juridical Impact of the Implementation of the Paradigm Regarding the Determination of the National Capital (IKN) of the Archipelago as an Asymmetric Region
The relocation of the National Capital (IKN) of the archipelago to Kalimantan reaped pros and cons from the community. However, as a democratic country, when the State has decided to move the National Capital (IKN) of the archipelago with a democratic process through law, all components of the nation should support it. The Indonesian nation needs to minimize the excesses of moving the National Capital (IKN) of the Archipelago. There is no single decision that satisfies all people, but decisions that provide greater benefits to the Indonesian nation must be supported as a form of love and devotion for the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945. The results showed that and obstacles in determining the National Capital (IKN) of the archipelago as an asymmetric area as described in the discussion were imbalance, injustice, regional conflicts, coordination and integration, resource management, inadequate infrastructure, availability of public services, uneven economic development, lack of investment and private sector development, complex interagency coordination, and social and cultural change. And there is no concrete case study regarding the implementation of the National Capital (IKN) of the archipelago as an asymmetric area because this plan is still in the planning and discussion stage.

This research can also be a reference for construction researchers and practitioners in similar contexts in other fields.
The Existence of Women’s Representation in the House of Representatives in 2019-2024
Indonesia as a democratic country must involve the participation of all components of society in determining the direction and policies of the country. The female voter population of 96,572,045 is greater than the male voter population of 96,294,209. The author conducted normative legal research on the existence of women's representation in DPR. As for the research results, the urgency for gender equality is: 1. Women's freedom from the patriarchal system; 2. Women can determine their future direction and goals; 3. Women as Role Models; d. Women are able to compete. The presence of women parliament can successfully change the culture from a masculine to a more female-friendly one. Regulations on women's candidacy arestated in Article 246 of the Election Law and Article 3 of PKPU No. 20 of 2018. Currently, women's representation in the DPR is 20.87%. Women's representation has succeeded in accommodating women's rights in the form of Law No. 12 of 2022 concerning Crime of Sexual Violence. An obstacle to increasing women's representation is that political parties still tend to place the serial number positions of female legislative candidates at the bottom of the serial number. With this, political parties must also consider the potential of female legislative candidates to get the leading number
Increasing Literacy and Education Beginner Voter
General elections are a democratic process that cannot be separated from community involvement in determining legislative and executive leaders. The achievement of democracy is certainly inseparable from various elements of society, one of which is novice voters. The limitations of beginner voters to literacy and education about elections, such as not being registered in the Permanent Voter List (DPT), are a bad sign. The research conducted is field research, with a descriptive qualitative approach.

This shows that beginner voters who already have the right to vote can lose their right to vote due to limited information and knowledge.
Implementation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Through the Development of Badan Usaha Milik Nagari (BUMNag): A Case Study Nagari Mungka
This research discusses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the development of Nagari-Owned Enterprises (BUMNag) in Mungka District, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, as an integrated effort for economic, social, environmental, legal, and governance development at the nagari level (local wisdom for villages in West Sumatra). In this context, BUMNag acts as a new means and approach in utilizing the potential of Nagari Mungka to improve the welfare of its people. This is done by considering the opportunities and needs of the Nagari to 'accommodate', support, and consolidate economic businesses within the Nagari area, so that it becomes a new source of income for the Nagari government in improving the local economy. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach by considering literature or reference studies. The results showed that the establishment of BUMNag has not fully implemented the eighteen goals of the SDGs program in Nagari Mungka because it is not strengthened by locally based policies, namely village regulations. It can be concluded that the existence of BUMNag is currently not maximally utilized, and there is still a lack of a comprehensive work program.
