Abstract

Digital-based simultaneous regional head elections which aim to build autonomous regions. This is in accordance with the regional government administration system in Indonesia, namely the Regional Autonomy policy which explains that each Regional Government is implemented based on the principle of decentralization in the form of broad, real, and responsible autonomy. In the context of implementing such broad, real and responsible autonomy, the Regent and Deputy Regent have a very strategic role in the field of governance, development and community service and are fully responsible for the running of regional government. The essence of the aforementioned objectives, among others, is to emphasize more on the principles of democracy, community participation, equity and justice and to pay attention to regional potential and diversity. Thus it can be interpreted that regional autonomy is expected to prosper the people and revive democracy which is reflected in the program, performance and figure of a regional head who is currently directly elected.
