Implementation of the Voting Committee Recruitment Policy in Modoinding District, South Minahasa Regency for the 2024 Election
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the policy implementation of the recruitment of Voting Committee (PPS) in Modoinding District, South Minahasa Regency, during the 2024 Regional Election. The research employed a descriptive-qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The analytical framework refers to Merilee S. Grindle's implementation theory, focusing on two key variables: policy content and context of implementation. Findings indicate substantial challenges in implementation, particularly regarding digital literacy, technological access gaps, and the lack of context-based socialization. Moreover, the top-down nature of the recruitment policy has not adequately addressed the geographical and socio-cultural aspects of the local community. It is concluded that the recruitment policy lacks inclusivity and responsiveness, thus requiring a more adaptive and localized approach.
