CIDISS. One potential vulnerability in the title of Regional Head Election simultaneously in a number of areas is the mobilization of the masses. Then, the next potential vulnerability of abuse of authority by incumbent candidates. Based on previous information and experience, incumbent candidates can move the state civil apparatus (ASN) to follow activities that are not official activities.
Furthermore, the potential use of mass organizations and laborers in mobilizing the masses. The number of mass organizations and laborers is also quite a lot, so it is necessary to watch out if there are parties who utilize mass organizations and laborers. In addition, it is important to be aware of the potential Regional Head Election districts / cities adjacent. So that can be done mobilization of people to do voting in two different places. This is very possible, considering there are still residents who do not have an electronic ID card.
In fact, it is necessary to watch out for mass mobilization by using certain communities by candidate pairs, for example like the automotive community. This can be cautioned if the regional head elections are conducted in an area where the number of automotive lovers is quite high, such as West Java. If mass mobilization is already happening, then the community will be polarized and divided into various groups according to the number of candidate pairs later.
Implementation of local elections conducted simultaneously increases the potential for mass mobilization. This is because local elections simultaneously increase the risk that adjacent areas will mobilize the masses. Moreover, the problem of electronic ID card is still one of the problems in the compilation of voter list in each region. However, upon entering the stage of the election of the regional head, whoever is elected is a democratic mechanism. For those who do not receive it, they can report it through a legal mechanism.
