Abstract

Elections during the Covid-19 pandemic are new in the history of modern politics. There are several adjustments in the implementation of elections, and one of them is the campaign stage. The campaign during the Covid-19 pandemic has severely restricted in-person meetings and prioritized the use of social media. This study aims to elaborate on the use of Twitter in the implementation of the campaign in the 2020 Sleman Regent and Deputy Regent Election. The unit of analysis in this study is the Twitter accounts of the candidates registered by the campaign team to the General Election Commission (KPU) of Sleman Regency and analyzed using qualitative analysis methods. From the Nvivo 12 Plus research software. Firstly, the findings from this study show that the touch power of campaigns using Twitter is wider than using conventional campaigns with direct face-to-face interaction. Second, the campaign using Twitter is a very effective form of a campaign to prevent the transmission of Covid-19. Third, Twitter campaigns can break the formal and rigid impression of the candidates for regent and deputy regent. Fourth, campaigns using social media are part of the candidates’ compliance with regulations regarding existing campaigns.
