In 2020 post-conflict regional head elections were held in Indonesia, including in North Sulawesi. Regulations concerning election explicitly state that each candidate is required to campaign and use environmentally friendly props. This study aims to analyze the perception of election organizers in North Sulawesi in implementing the 2020 election whether they have implemented an environmentally friendly concept. The research method is descriptive qualitative, with the determination of the sample is done by purposive sampling. In this case, the informant is the election organizer, the General Elections Commission (KPU), and the General Election Supervisory Agency of the Province and City Regencies in North Sulawesi. The results showed that the perception of the informants' environment was at the highest level, namely ecocentric, meaning that the concept of being environmentally friendly was an important part of election success. But this perception was not applied in the socialization material they carried out during the 2020 post-conflict regional head election in North Sulawesi. Another finding in the observation in the city of Manado, the provincial capital of all candidates, tends to carry out a campaign model that is not environmentally friendly. It concluded that applying the concept of environmentally friendly elections is still below the level of expectations. Further intervention is needed so that in the future, the elections that are carried out will also ensure that an environmentally friendly concept is implemented.
Persepsi Penyelenggara Pemilu dalam Mewujudkan Pemilu Ramah Lingkungan di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara
Pada tahun 2020 pemilihan kepala daerah pasca-konflik diselenggarakan di Indonesia, termasuk di Sulawesi Utara. Peraturan tentang pemilu secara tegas menyatakan bahwa setiap calon wajib berkampanye dan menggunakan alat peraga yang ramah lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi penyelenggara pemilu di Sulawesi Utara dalam melaksanakan pemilu 2020 apakah sudah menerapkan konsep ramah lingkungan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif, dengan penentuan sampel dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Dalam hal ini yang menjadi informan adalah penyelenggara pemilu, Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU), dan Badan Pengawas Pemilihan Umum Provinsi dan Kabupaten Kota di Sulawesi Utara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi lingkungan informan berada pada level tertinggi yaitu ekosentris, artinya konsep ramah lingkungan menjadi bagian penting dari keberhasilan pemilu. Namun persepsi tersebut tidak diterapkan dalam materi sosialisasi yang mereka lakukan saat Pilkada 2020 di Sulawesi Utara. Temuan lain dalam pantauan di Kota Manado, ibu kota provinsi dari seluruh calon, cenderung melakukan model kampanye yang tidak ramah lingkungan. Disimpulkan bahwa penerapan konsep pemilu yang ramah lingkungan masih di bawah tingkat harapan. Intervensi lebih lanjut diperlukan agar ke depan, pemilu yang dilakukan juga memastikan konsep ramah lingkungan diterapkan.
