Penerapan Kebijakan Afirmasi Terhadap Representasi Perempuan Dalam Seleksi Panitia Pengawas Kecamatan Pada Pilkada 2024 di Bawaslu Kota Bandar Lampung

Abstract

Fulfillment of women's representation is still a challenge for the government in the context of organizing elections, support is needed through affirmative policies to empower women and overcome the stigma and stereotypes that exist in society. In doing so, Bawaslu formed an ad hoc body, namely the Sub-District Panwaslu, in the recruitment process there were several sub-districts that did not meet the quota of female representation. This study aims to determine the implementation of the Affirmative  policy in supporting 30% women's representation in the Bandar Lampung City Bawaslu has been implemented as expected. This research uses a qualitative approach with data analysis using Mazmanian and Sabatier's theory which includes three main variables: problem characteristics, policy characteristics and environmental factors. The results showed that the implementation of the Affirmative policy in the Bandar Lampung City Bawaslu has been substantively implemented well, but the results of recruitment of women's representation have not yet reached 30%. Notes on the policy are still related to internal and external constraints of Bawaslu Bandar Lampung City which require efforts to support women's involvement and not just fulfill the quota.
