Abstract

The politics-bureaucracy relationship in Indonesia, especially post-reform, has been discussed widely by scholars concerning the non-compliance of bureaucrats to the principle of neutrality. Related to the issue, the development of technology and the emergence of social media as a platform used to show the users' existence are widely used by apparatus. Even though officials are prohibited from engaging in politics or involved in political activities during the election phase, they openly express their political preferences through social media. Therefore, this research aims to classify the content of the apparatus’ political activity and its narrative distribution on social media during the 2020 simultaneous regional elections in Indonesia. The apparatus' political expressions are very striking, such as posting about candidates with narratives of support for the candidate on Twitter. On the other hand, they also follow team or candidate accounts on FB, and dominant narratives emerge, such as neutrality and violation. These two social media are popular platforms for expressing political preferences during the election stages with different political orientations and narratives.
