Active Community Participation in Regional Elections Realizes Regional Progress
The participation of all elements of society, especially in the implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Election (Pilkada) is important to realize. This is necessary to continue to encourage progress in their respective regions or regions. The progress of a region is very dependent on the presence of regional leaders with integrity. This can only be realized with the large active participation of the community following the 2024 Pilkada.
Because, if community participation in the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada is very high, then of course it will also increase the legitimacy of the people in whoever the leader is who will lead a region, thereby making the region more advanced with all its programs.
Therefore, it is very important that there is active participation from the entire community, so that the organizers of the Regional Head Election, namely the General Election Commission (KPU), continue to intensify outreach to citizens to ensure that they all actually use their right to vote and vote in the regional elections in November 2024. .

Chairman of the South Tangerang City KPU, M Taufiq, stated that since the implementation of the regional elections, the fate of the future development of a region begins to depend on it. Therefore, it is very important for the entire community to really know what the profile and track record of the prospective regional leaders are.
In fact, not only for certain areas, but through the implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections, it is truly possible to realize equitable development and progress for even remote or remote areas.
Boven Digoel Catholic religious figure or religious figure, Father Samuel Yanem stated that the public must be aware of the influence of the use of their voting rights and votes in the regional elections because it is very important in determining the future fate of their region.
With awareness of the importance of using the voting rights or votes that the people have, they will choose prospective leaders who also have integrity so that this is the same as the people actively participating in the success of the regional level democratic party in Indonesia.
Reflecting on previous experiences, where quite a few people want good things to continue, the best answer is through the implementation of political contestation, namely the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections.
If the community is able to show their active participation by not being part of the golput (white group) or not voting, then it is very clear that the fate and future of their region is in their hands.
The entire community must continue to be enthusiastic and show their enthusiasm in welcoming the 2024 regional elections with full political joy. Don’t let them not use the momentum of the democratic party to exercise their constitutional right to vote.
Then in the future, whoever is elected as a regional leader should receive full support because these leaders are the result of the use of the community’s voting and voting rights, so a culture of mutual respect must continue to be realized.
Meanwhile, Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian continues to encourage all local Regional Governments (Pemda) in their respective regions to be able to participate in the successful implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Elections (Pilkada).
The high number of public participation in a political contest or democratic party indicates that the event has been successful. This is also related to the high level of legitimacy from the community towards potential leaders who want to lead their region.
On the other hand, if the level of community participation in the Pilkada is low, then this shows that support from the people is also small. In other words, the government that will be formed by these new leaders will not be strong either.
For information, the Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in November 2024 will take place in 37 provinces and 506 districts or cities throughout Indonesia. There are several efforts to increase community participation in regional level democratic events, thereby also boosting development and progress in the local area.
One of these steps is to continue to optimize the role of all stakeholders or related stakeholders. Having full support from the community or increasing active participation does not actually only come from one way, namely by using their right to vote or vote. Having direct monitoring from the community on how the entire Pilkada process is carried out also indicates active participation by residents.
If all elements of society are actively involved or participate, including in exercising their voting rights and carrying out monitoring, then all levels of regional election organizers can work more optimally.
It is very important to have active participation from the community in the implementation of democratic events and political contestation at the regional level, namely the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. Because this will lead to encouraging optimal development and progress in a region. On the other hand, the community is also expected to be able to participate in maintaining the security and social security situation so that the regional elections can run safely and successfully.
