Abstract

This study aims to find out and analyze election integrity as a framework for guaranteeing the election rights and fairness in the modern era. The right to vote in Indonesian general elections is strictly protected. General elections are part of democracy and Indonesian citizens must participate. This is especially true in countries where the right to participate in general elections is heavily depended to everyone over the age of 17. Risk management is in place to ensure that all citizens can participate in elections. Local election commissions are also responsible for ensuring that general elections are held. In addition, Indonesian citizens who studies or work abroad will also have to hold general elections. General elections abroad are regulated by a regulation General Election Commission Regulation (PKPU Number 9 of 2018 concerning Voting Overseas in General Elections. However, not all Indonesian citizens will be able to vote in her upcoming 2024 elections, this requires a lot of consideration for the government and Indonesian representatives abroad. One of the issues is residency and immigration documents that has to be clear to enter the general election. If an Indonesian citizen stays illegally, the citizen could be suspect to enter the country illegally by the not just their government but also by the abroad government they currently live in. For the time being, Bawaslu RI relies only on Indonesian citizens reporting to their respective countries. This is indeed a problematic for the Indonesian government and requires a holistic, integrated and comprehensive approach. Dispatchers must have reachable data and be able to ask representatives to contact them or submit data from local migrant workers to RI representatives. Indonesia citizens to follow the latest information issued by the KPU or diplomatic representatives.
