Money Politik pada Kepemiluan di Kota Bengkulu (Studi Kasus RT 23, Keluruhan Dusun Besar Kota Bengkulu)
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of money politics in the implementation of local elections, especially in RT 23, Dusun Besar Village, Bengkulu City. Through a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study reveals the forms of money politics practices that occur, the actors involved, and the factors that encourage these practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the practice of money politics is still taking place systematically and structured, especially approaching the voting day. Community economic factors, weak election supervision, and low political literacy are the main causes of the continuation of this practice. Money politics has a negative impact on the quality of local democracy, including in terms of unhealthy political participation and the election of candidates based on financial strength, not competence. This study recommends strengthening political education and stricter supervision by election organizers and supervisors.
