Abstract

Valid voter data ensures that every eligible citizen is registered and has the opportunity to participate in the election. Conversely, inaccurate data may potentially eliminate citizens’ constitutional rights, erode public trust in the electoral process, and lead to disputes that may disrupt social and political stability. The primary objectives of this research are to analyse the policies and implementation of governance in the oversight of the voter data updating process in Kulon Progo Regency, to identify the factors that support the effectiveness of such oversight, and to examine the obstacles and efforts to minimise errors in voter data oversight in order to protect voting rights. This study employs a qualitative method using both normative juridical and empirical juridical approaches. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Data analysis is carried out through several stages: data organisation, data reduction, coding and categorisation, thematic analysis, and conclusion drawing. In the 2024 Kulon Progo regional election, field officers were not only assigned data targets but also received adequate support and training. Election supervisors were able to carry out their duties effectively, with clear access to information and realistic coordination flows. Community involvement was encouraged within socially and structurally feasible limits, including the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities. Kulon Progo has implemented accessible polling stations (TPS).
