Abstract

This research aims to find out the strategic system for the design of direct Local Leaders Election (Pilkada) by the General Election Commission (KPU) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Pilkada, which is routinely held every five years, has been hampered due to the Covid-19 pandemic problem, where the government requires social distancing and physical distancing. This is a challenge for Pilkada organizers to be innovative in carrying out the implementation stages. The General Election Commission (KPU) must be able to design and implement elections that continue to use health protocols. The research method used is empirical juridical research, which examines the applicable legal provisions, as well as what happens in society. The results of the research obtained are that the KPU designed several things so that the implementation of Pilkada is safe, efficient, and smooth, namely by designing communication and designing education. The KPU in completing the socialization of direct elections during the Covid-19 pandemic was carried out thoroughly, including all components of the Pilkada coordinator. The KPU also builds support for election members by leading socialization on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and pamphlet leaflets while adhering to health protocols.
