There are many government problems in development and services to the community, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. Support, participation and partnerships with various elements of society are a necessity. Rukun Tetangga as a lower-level social institution has a strategic role in development and public services. Setting the organizational dimension in a government regulation guarantees its implementation and function. The role of communication as a mediator between the interests of community members and the village government is very important. With qualitative methods, juridical normative, literature review and secondary data analysis, research located in Bandung and Cianjur regencies, it is known that as a social institution, the existence of the Rukun Tetangga is determined in several government regulations, namely Permendagri and regional regulations and regent regulations. Several organizational dimensions, namely formalization, specialization, organization and professionalization have been regulated in Law
The arrangement of the election organizers in Law Number 7 of 2017, is something strategic for the development of democracy. From the aspect of public interest contained in it, the law is basically a public policy. The General Election Commission (KPU), the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) and the Election Organizing Honorary Council (DKPP) are both designated as election organizers, in their organizational arrangements there are differences. With normative juridical research methods and literature, it appears that as a product of public policy, this law has regulated several organizational dimensions, and must be followed up with more operational policies. The arrangement of the KPU's organizational dimensions is more than that of Bawaslu and DKPP. The arrangement of the organizational dimensions of DKPP is the least compared to KPU and Bawaslu. There are inconsistent and incomplete arrangements of several organizational dimensions, as well as arrangements for different organizational characteristics among the three election management bodies. From the political aspect, the organization of Bawaslu and DKPP is more complete than that regulated in the previous law, adding to the weight of both institutionally. It is necessary to rearrange the organizational dimensions of the three institutions in a more proportional manner.
Controlling of all stages of the local election (pilkada) is a very decisive aspect for the success of its overall implementation. It is impossible for Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) and its staff to carry out their controlling function optimally without the support and cooperation of other parties. Money politics is still a major problem that can degrade the quality of local elections. With the normative juridical research method, literature review and secondary data analysis, it is known that local elections are very meaningful for the implementation of local government through the selection of regional leaders. Controlling of all stages of regional head elections involving the Rukun Tetangga as a component of society is very important for the growth of the anti-money politics movement in society. The challenges and problems faced by election supervisors are getting bigger during the current Covid 19 pandemic. Collaboration between local election supervisors and Rukun Tetangga administrators is a strong partnership for the growth of the anti-money politics movement. This is a major contribution to the implementation of an increasingly quality local election.
The establishment of the Ombudsman with Law No. 37 of 2008 and Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Services are important for Indonesia as a legal-democracy state. The regulation on the organizational dimensions in the law is inadequate. With normative juridical methods and literature, it is clear that the Ombudsman as an independent state institution does not have organic relations with state institutions, but is politically less than optimal in carrying out its functions. Its role is very strategic, in supervising the implementation of public services, and in accordance with one of its objectives, namely realizing a democratic, just, and prosperous legal state. The establishment of an Ombudsman representative at the provincial and/or district/city level according to Article 5 paragraph (2) and Article 43 paragraph (1) of Law Number 37 of 2008 is not imperative. However, according to Article 46 paragraph (3) of Law Number 25 of 2009, the Ombudsman is obliged to form representatives in the regions to support their duties and functions in public services. Politically, not mentioning the nine members of the Ombudsman as state officials has the potential to reduce the weight of their institutions as state institutions. It is necessary to improve the regulation of several organizational dimensions for institutional strengthening within the framework of a legal-democracy state.
