Abstract

The results of the general election (presidential choice and choice of legislative members) in Indonesia on April 17, 2019 are known in a short time through a quick count process. On the one hand, there are differences in attitudes from the two presidential candidates in dealing with quick count results. The average quick count results by several survey institutions place number 01 and 02 presidential candidate pairs with 56% of votes compared to 44%. Pair number 01 presidential and vice presidential candidates responded to the results of the quick count carefully. While the number 02 presidential and vice presidential candidate pairs denied that results and submitted the paired version of the quick count with a range of votes on his party of 62%. On the other hand, political parties contesting the general election have almost no difference in the results of the quick count of votes in the House of Representatives. The quick count results placed PDIP, Gerindra, and Golkar as the majority votes collectors in Senayan.  This study aims to examine the differences in attitudes between presidential and vice-presidential candidates number 1 and number 2 on the results of the quick count of presidential and vice-presidential elections. This study also looks at the attitudes of political parties to the results of quick counts of legislative elections. This research is qualitative in nature based on news data in various mass media. The results of the study indicate that the results of the quick count in the presidential election process are more difficult to accept by the losing counts of the quick count version for various reasons, including questioning the credibility of the survey institution. The solution, the process of appointing and financing a quick counting survey institute is carried out by an independent institution. It also a great need to educate pairs of presidential candidates and their supporters about the scientific statistical method of quick count
