Kajian Prinsip Demokrasi Dalam Pemilihan Umum di Indonesia

Abstract

. This study seeks to determine democracy in Indonesia's general elections. The 1955 election was intended to be the most democratic in history, despite Indonesia's fragile security situation. This study employs a qualitative methodology by synthesizing secondary data sources, such as social media, mass media, election papers, and democracy evaluation documents. To verify the previously studied data, the data source will be validated using a data analysis program, the Nvivo 12 Plus power analysis tool, and the theory employed in this work. The results of this study are based on an analysis of the data gathered to support the claim that democratic elections have been held in Indonesia; however, the implementation process cannot be deemed a success because there are still a great number of problems associated with the implementation of elections. In addition, election actors are responsible for complications, such as money politics, which lead to multiple decisions. However, according to the data collected, the level of democracy from year to year is relatively high.
