Collaboration of Local Election Supervisors with Neighbourhood Association (Rukun Tetangga) to Make an Antimoney Politic Community Movement During the Pandemic Covid 19

Abstract

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.
