Abstract

In 2021 Indramayu Regency will hold simultaneous kuwu elections in 171 villages spread across 31 sub-districts. The village community welcomed the kuwu election, because it was a democratic party for the village people in order to determine a leader. The selection of kuwu is carried out periodically every 6 years. The 2021 Kuwu election will be held under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, so the organizers of the Kuwu election need a new democratic paradigm. What is the democratic paradigm in the practice of kuwu elections in Indramayu Regency, West Java Province in 2021? This is the problem discussed in this article. The discussion of this issue aims to get an overview of the democratic paradigm of the Kuwu election in Indramayu Regency in 2021, which was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of the study show that the democratic paradigm of the Kuwu election in Indramayu Regency in 2021 is different from the paradigm of the Kuwu election held in 2017 and before. All the kuwu election processes are aligned with regulations for preventing and controlling the spread of Covid-19, so that the implementation of the kuwu election in Indramayu Regency does not cause the impact of Covid-19 transmission and victims on the community.
