Abstract

Legal Study of Extension of Term of Office of Village Head According to Law No. 3 of 2024 on Amendments to Village Law No. 6 of 2014 and Impact on Work Effectiveness: Case Study in Grogol Village, Kapetakan District, Cirebon Regency. Background: Law No. 3 of 2024 concerning significant changes in the term of office of village heads, which previously was 6 years to 8 years with a maximum limit of 3 periods. This change sparked debate about its impact on the effectiveness of the work of village heads. Research Objectives: This study aims to legally examine the extension of the term of office of village heads according to Law No. 3 of 2024 and its impact on the effectiveness of the work of village heads in Grogol Village, Kapetakan District, Cirebon Regency. Research Methods. This study uses normative and empirical legal research methods. Normative legal analysis is carried out to understand the legal aspects of extending the term of office of village heads, while empirical analysis is carried out through a case study in Grogol Village to determine its impact on the effectiveness of the work of village heads. The research results indicate that extending the village head's term of office can have a positive impact on the village head's effectiveness, as it gives the village head more time to implement village development programmes. However, term extension also carries the risk of abuse of power and a decline in village head performance if not balanced with increased capacity and accountability. In conclusion, extending the village head's term of office can provide an opportunity for village heads to improve their work effectiveness, but this must be balanced with increased capacity and accountability to prevent abuse of power. Therefore, strict monitoring and evaluation of village head performance are necessary to ensure their effectiveness.
