Abstract

Research examining community support in organizing electoral districts in Indonesia is still limited, especially in district areas. This article aims to explore public support regarding the determination of electoral districts and the allocation of chairman of the Regional People’s Representative Council in Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. The methods used include a survey with a 5 Likert scale questionnaire, group interviews, and documentation. The process of arranging electoral districts and allocating seats in Buton Regency is designed in 7 plans. The electoral district design that received the highest public support determined by the General Election Commission of the Republic of Indonesia, resulted in 3 electoral districts, namely Buton 1, 2, and 3 electoral districts. Analysis shows that public support is in the very strong category, with an average of 83.34. % from in-person surveys and 85.51% from online surveys. These findings reflect the community’s strong support for the designation process. However, the public also emphasizes the importance of maintaining democratic values ​​and fairness in elections. Consolidation and broader public participation are needed to create a more inclusive process. This research contributes to reform in literature and public policy related to the electoral system in Indonesia.
