Coordination Pattern of the Election Supervisory Body to Encourage Participatory Supervision in the 2024 Election

Abstract

The research aims to further understand the coordination patterns of the Situbondo District Election Supervisory Committee (Bawaslu) to promote participatory monitoring for the 2024 Elections. The study begins with the phenomenon of conducting monitoring socialization programs, yet public awareness remains relatively low. This phenomenon will inevitably impact Bawaslu's role as the election organizer in ensuring monitoring and upholding electoral principles of direct, public, free, secret, honest, and fair elections. Therefore, it is essential for Bawaslu to examine the coordination patterns employed to enhance relationships and cooperation in promoting participatory monitoring. The research is grounded in the theory or concept of coordination using a qualitative descriptive research method. Data were collected through primary and secondary sources including interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings from Situbondo District Bawaslu reveal coordination patterns based on communication, coordination awareness, coordination capabilities, agreements, and coordination continuity. Thus, participatory monitoring is better understood and supported by various institutions and community groups for the 2024 Elections.
