An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy. Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. Indonesia has a good electoral system that is LUBER JURDIL ( Langsung, umum, bebas, rahasia, jujur dan adil ), direct, general, free, secret, honest and fair, perfect! But why the chosen candidate still makes people or society are not happy or not satisfied. What's behind it all? Is the election fair?

           :     

       Good electoral system in Indonesia can make the election process fair. The election commissions (KPU) to verify the political party has signed up to be a candidate. After that for a political party that passes the verification will be given the opportunity to campaign against the community. they will promote their political party to get  people hearts. So people will vote for them during elections. LUBER JURDIL, electoral systems which only the Indonesian state, already recognized good from the various parties. Direct, general, free, secret, honest and fair already apply in Indonesia election process. The voters already vote their choice to become their leader. They are already choosing the good leader for them by consider many aspect from each candidate. The chosen candidate hopefully can protect the lives and welfare of the community.

                Electoral system in Indonesia that already recognized good from many parties does not guarantee finding a leader who can satisfy the society. This problem maybe happens because of the unfair election process.  Electoral commission is not neutral and independent to be a very serious problem, KKN still become Indonesia culture in many sector that make many people disappointed. Then the elections technologies were manipulated that impact the vote count and so on. Beside that the politics of money making the election process to be unfair. With the money politics the purpose of elections is to find a leader who can protect and prosper the public will not be achieved. Elected leader is a leader who has a lot of money who do not attention the motto "of the people, by the people, for the people".

                Actually to reach fair and success election is depend on the voters and the election commission. The voters must wise to vote the candidate by consider many aspect, and the election commission must independent and neutral. Good election is Democratic election, reliable and accountable in accordance with the rules and regulations in law, the need for understanding and community participation that took part to prevent money politics or the politics of money in its implementation, selection of Regents, members of the Legislature, the Governor election and President.
