A Political Communication Regulation Model in Local Leaders Election and Legislative Election For Realizing a Just Political Education

Abstract

This research discusses the political communication regulation model in local leaders election and legislative election for a fair political education. Direct local leaders election obliges every participant of local leaders election and legislative election to compete for support in order to win. Therefore, those participants will do any ways and strategies of political communication to get the majority votes and win the election. However, the strategies and methods employed sometimes violate the constitution adopted by the government. It can be seen from the persistence of money politics issues done by the participants of local leaders election and legislative election. The results of this research show that the community needs to carry out selection before the regional head candidates and legislative candidates compete in the election. There needs to be a limit of community support for candidates before registering. The information technology needs to be used so that people have new alternatives in choosing regional head candidates and legislative candidates. Political communication activities between regional head candidates and legislative candidates with the voters should be carried out by involving the election supervisory committee. Political communication such as campaign activities for regional head candidates and legislative candidates should be limited by clear and binding rules.
