Abstract

Elections are a form of people’s sovereignty in the formation of a democratic government. The fate and direction of the government for the next five years will be determined by a leader elected by the people. To hold democratic elections, election organizers play an important role. To create representatives for the people who will sit in government as a result of democratic elections, fair elections are very important. Integrity is unwavering adherence to moral views and values without accepting any favors. Therefore, the subject of this essay is how the integrity and professionalism of election organizers impacts the success of democratic elections. This essay adopts a normative perspective, arguing that honest and capable election administrators are necessary for the success of democratic elections. The independence of election organizers has not been well established through the implementation of elections. According to Article 22E paragraph 5 of the 1945 Constitution, the National, permanent and independent General Election Commission is responsible for holding general elections. Because the number of commissioners at that time was very large and the majority were associated with political parties, the KPU could not agree on the election results. Elections are carried out by election organizers who behave honestly and competently in an effort to ensure legal clarity and election fairness. Therefore, election organizers must be responsible for ensuring the success of holding elections in order to increase their integrity and professionalism in carrying out their responsibilities and commitments.
