Implementation of the Election Supervision Information System (SIWASLIH) at the Election Supervisory Body of Malang Regency

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Information System on the Election Supervision System (SIWASLIH) at the Election Supervisory Body of Malang Regency. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study involved direct observation and interviews with Bawaslu officials of Malang Regency. The results of the study indicate that SIWASLIH has increased efficiency and accuracy in election supervision, supported data digitization, and increased transparency of the process. Despite facing challenges such as server issues and limited device compatibility, SIWASLIH has proven effective in improving the quality of election supervision. This system also has a positive impact on public participation in election supervision through increased accessibility and education. However, ongoing efforts are still needed to overcome the digital divide and improve public political understanding. This study recommends improving technological infrastructure, application development, and HR training to improve the effectiveness of SIWASLIH.
