“…The election of village heads from time to time is a manifestation of democracy in local wisdom in the village administration (Qiao, Ding, & Liu, 2019). Community participation in the democratic process is expected to be able to drive change for village development and progress (Williams, 2019). In the election of the village head, the community has rights and obligations as citizens, although the mechanism for the transfer of people's sovereignty is done through their representatives (representative democracy).…”

This study aims to analyze the model of holding village head elections between times with a case study in Reban Village, Reban District, Batang Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a sociological juridical approach(Dawkins et al., 2019). The results of this study indicate that: 1). Inter-village head election procedures in Reban Village, Reban District, Batang Regency are in accordance with the mandate of Article 47 of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. However, referring to Article 45 of Government Regulation No. 43 of 2014 there are stages of selection that are not yet in accordance with technical rules: a). The holding of the election exceeds the specified time limit. Limitations of technical guidelines become the main obstacle b). Funding for the election is still fully burdened to the candidates for village heads. 2). The mechanism for electing village heads over time through a voting model with a representative system. Voters who have the right to vote are every family head who lives in Reban Village, proven by a Family Card. Elections are democratic with a turnout of 94.9%.

“…According to the Bönisch, Geys and Michelsen (2019:743), a voter is the most powerful segment in an election because he or she can determine who wins or loses (specifically when an election is free, fair and credible). The voter plays an essential role in electoral turnouts and the ultimate outcome (Górecki & Gendźwiłł, 2021;Fujimura, 2021;Williams, 2020); consequently, they should be devoted to choosing the preferred candidate as well as demanding quality accountability, while working sideways the elected leadership to seek solutions to different societal challenges with honesty. Hogan (2020), notes that voters are, at present, faced with and functioning in a multifaceted and thought-provoking environment which they should be set for.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to deconstruct election results within the framework of candidate’s physical attractiveness. There is a mounting fear that modern-day political institutions are not presenting candidates with the social aptitude that they need to become successful in election processes. This deficiency has placed a growing burden on political parties to boost the victory of their candidates by making sure that the process of selecting candidates transforms into a rewarding time of political victory. In view of the countless contestations and proof of the dearth of social abilities in political parties, the emphasis of this article is on how political parties in Uganda can identify appealing candidates for the modern-day voter. Methods: By means of a desk review technique, definitions are given as well as an earlier theory as a basis for a projected model of enhancing candidate victory. Findings: The findings reveal that candidate’s physical attractiveness contributes positively towards the election outcome given that candidates that are physically less attractive are likely to score lower in an election. Unique contribution of theory, practice and policy: The study suggests that to neglect the power of a candidate’s physical attractiveness in an election is comparable to surrendering election victory to the opponent. For effective application, political party leaderships should include the elements of physical attractiveness in their strategic plans when choosing candidates for the next election cycle.
