ANALYSIS OF ELECTION ADMINISTRATION LAW ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES BASED ON LAW NUMBER 7 OF 2017 CONCERNING GENERAL ELECTIONS IN TULANG BAWANG

Abstract

The General Election Supervisory Agency (BAWASLU) has a dominant position in handling the prosecution of election violations. Bawaslu is authorized to receive and follow up reports relating to alleged violations of the implementation of laws and regulations governing elections, examine, review, and decide on election administration violations. The problem to be discussed in this study is how the procedure for enforcing election administration law is based on Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections in Tulang Bawang, and what factors hinder the enforcement of election administration law. The research methods used are normative and empirical juridical, using secondary and primary data, obtained from literature studies and field studies and data analysis with qualitative juridical analysis. The results of the study show that the procedure for enforcing election administration law in Tulang Bawang has been carried out in accordance with Law Number 7 of 2017 and Bawaslu Regulation Number 8 of 2018 concerning the Completion of General Election Administrative Violations, but it has not been maximized because there are multiple interpretations of several articles of the Election Law. The inhibiting factors of election administration law enforcement in Tulang Bawang Regency are that the Civil Service Police cannot carry out curbing due to a lack of budget and no equipment for curbing Campaign Props in hard-to-reach locations; At the hearing for the examination of election administration violations, the behavior of the community as reported and witnesses did not attend the examination hearing even though they had been invited 2 (two) times in a row properly, the community still felt afraid to submit reports of election violations to Bawaslu.
