Effectiveness of the Implementation of The Role of the Subdistrict Election Committee in the Conduct of Elections

The success of the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) depends heavily on the effectiveness of lower-level implementers, namely the Sub-district Election Committee (PPK). In Tempursari District, implementing this role faces complex challenges due to hilly terrain and difficult accessibility. A unique phenomenon emerged: limited formal facilities forced officials to implement tactical innovations to ensure the election stages continued to run in accordance with regulations. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the PPK role based on George C. Edwards III's theory, which includes variables such as communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, and to identify driving and inhibiting factors. The research method used was a descriptive, quantitative approach, supported by field observations. Primary data were collected through questionnaires administered to 39 PPS members across Tempursari District and analyzed using SPSS to compute the mean and mode. Observations were conducted to validate technical findings related to logistics, distribution, and coordination patterns. The results showed that the effectiveness of the PPK role in Tempursari District was in the Very High category. This is evidenced by the average scores for the communication variables (4.32), resources (4.31), disposition (4.26), and bureaucratic structure (4.10). The main driving factors were the availability of facilities (33%) and the high level of human resource commitment, demonstrated through the innovative use of "goprak motorbikes" to reach the most difficult polling stations (TPS) and the "jemput bola" (outreach) coordination strategy. On the other hand, geographic location was the most dominant obstacle (67%). The study concluded that personnel commitment and operational flexibility could overcome infrastructure limitations, enabling election policies to be optimally implemented under extreme geographic conditions.
