The Significance of SiGapLapor in Electoral Supervision: A Multiple Streams Analysis

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the significance of SiGapLapor Program in handling alleged electoral violations during the 2024 General Election at the South Sumatra Provincial Election Supervisory Board, using the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) developed by John W. Kingdon. SiGapLapor is a digital innovation introduced by Bawaslu to speed up and simplify the process of receiving, verifying, and processing reports of suspected electoral violations.The research applies a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. The data analysis process involved data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions with verification. To assess program effectiveness, this study uses four organizational effectiveness indicators proposed by Amitai Etzioni, namely adaptation, integration, member motivation, and production. The findings indicate that the SiGapLapor Program has generally functioned effectively in supporting the handling of electoral violations at the South Sumatra Provincial Bawaslu. This performance is supported by a strong regulatory framework, the availability of technological infrastructure, and tiered training for human resources. The system has been integrated across different levels of Bawaslu and has contributed to improved transparency and accountability in the reporting process. However, the study also identifies several challenges, particularly related to the limited number of personnel, high workloads, and occasional technical problems within the system. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity and further developing the system are necessary to improve the future implementation of the SiGapLapor Program.
