Injustice in the Workload of the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS) Central Lampung During the 2024 Indonesian General Election

Abstract

This research highlights a crucial issue regarding the injustice of workload experienced by the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS) in Central Lampung, a problem that has significant implications for the effectiveness and integrity of elections in Indonesia. From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes insights into the relationship between excessive workload and its impact on the physical and mental well-being of workers, particularly in the context of administrative and technical election duties. The objective of this research is to identify the extent to which disproportionate workloads affect the performance and health of KPPS members, as well as to provide policy recommendations to improve task distribution and logistical support. The research employs a quantitative survey method and in-depth interviews with KPPS members, supplemented by correlational statistical analysis. The main findings indicate that excessive workloads are significantly correlated with increased levels of stress, fatigue, and operational errors. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for reform in the workload management of KPPS, particularly in areas with geographical challenges such as Central Lampung, and recommends enhanced training and logistical support to ensure professional and proportionate election implementation.
