The current condition of women’s representation is still dominated by the spirit of procedural fullness, the achievement of women’s representation in the membership of election organizers is not good and needs to be improved. This study aims to explain how to increase the capacity of involvement of women’s right to vote and be elected in the process of organizing elections, not only being voters who come to use their voting rights at the polling station, but also to become smart voters, election organizers, election participants or election activists for fair and equal elections. The method used in this writing is normative juridical, which is an approach that is carried out based on the main legal materials by studying, theories, concepts, legal principles, and books and statutory paraturans that are based on u and primary data as supporting data. The results of the study showed that theknowledge and political awareness of voters, including female voters, was generally not optimal. The obstaclesare from a variety of factors, including coming from the quality of the electorate themselves. Political education of the community, can improve the quality of voters to become classy voters. The increase in women’s involvement capacity is well regulated in the formulation of laws and regulations.
