ANALISIS KESIAPAN SEKOLAH MENENGAH DALAM MENERAPKAN E-VOTING MENGGUNAKAN MODEL TECHNOLOGY READINESS INDEX

Abstract

Voting can be interpreted as a way of making decisions based on the largest number of votes. So far, voting is carried out by ticking or voting on a ballot paper as an option in holding the election for OSIS chairman at SMAN 15 Pekanbaru. This method is considered still very conventional amidst advances in technology and information which has weaknesses in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. The weaknesses of conventional voting are: the decision is not the result of consensus, some participants are forced to accept the decision that has been taken, some participants often do not accept the decision, the aspirations of the participants are not fully channeled. To reduce problems arising from manual voting, it is necessary to analyze the readiness of secondary schools in implementing e-voting using the Technology Readiness Index model. The method that can be used to measure the level of user readiness in using technology is the Technology Readiness Index (TRI). In order to find out the results of the analysis and test the readiness of secondary schools in implementing the new system, the author will conduct a survey by distributing a Google Form link containing a list of statements regarding the readiness of secondary school residents, especially at SMAN 15 Pekanbaru, in using the web-based E-Voting system for the election of chairman. Student Council. The survey results will be analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 application and also calculated using the Technology Readiness Index Method
