Abstract

This study aims to analyze the extent of community participation in Deli Serdang district in the implementation of the 2018 regional head election and to analyze the factors that encourage and hinder or become obstacles for the community in Deli Serdang Regency in carrying out or participating, in using their voting rights in regional head elections. The method used in studying the phenomenon of community participation (phenomenological) is a qualitative research method. The results of this study are first, the public perceives regional elections as rah-rah (spending funds); no benefit; not thinking about the fate of the people; and people's aspirations are not accommodated, tend to be manipulative. Second, background and basic considerations used as justification for people's attitude not to proceed in Pilkada or not to vote alias Gol-Put is because they do not know the candidates closely; socialization that was less than optimal and he called the Pilkada as something oriented solely to position, while their aspirations were never accommodated and their aspirations paid attention to over the entire Pilkada process.
