The sampling technique applied was multistage random sampling, so the margin of error was 3%.

Indonesia has decided to hold simultaneous local elections on December 9, 2020, even though the country and the rest of the world still face the COVID-19 pandemic. The local election stages have begun in June 2020 by forming a unit to update data of voters and socialize how to hold the elections during the pandemic. This paper aims to build communication strategies in socializing how to hold the elections during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results were obtained using the survey method involving 440 respondents in Denpasar in September 2020. The communication strategy is a combination of offline and online mediums. Despite a policy to stay at home, data shows that residents of Denpasar still needed offline mediums such as billboards and banners. In addition, they also searched for information about the election through printed advertisements and television advertisements. To ensure the smooth socialization of election process, the General Election Commission (KPU) in Denpasar uses accounts in social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook in collaboration with parties that have a large number of followers or mass media that have accounts in social media with a large number of followers. However, almost all respondents do not follow the official account of KPU Denpasar. Uniquely, in Denpasar, some potential voters still rely on community leaders and figures in searching for information about the local election. To that end, to build communication strategies, these community leaders and figures should be involved. Data also show that online meeting like zoom, google meet, or Webex meeting is not sufficient.

Hasil pemilu langsung pascareformasi hingga Pemilu 2019 menunjukkan Bali tidak pernah berhasil mengirimkan wakil perempuan ke DPR RI. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai apa yang menyebabkan kegagalan perempuan Bali dalam merebut kursi di DPR RI dengan menggunakan kerangka Supply-Demand. Pada sisi demand yang menitikberatkan pada bagaimana partai politik menyeleksi bakal calon untuk masuk ke dalam daftar caleg diketahui bahwa partai politik memberi perlakuan yang berbeda dari sisi akses ke mesin partai pada kandidat laki-laki dan perempuan. Pada sisi supply, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa caleg perempuan yang bertarung di Bali pada Pemilu 2019 memiliki keterbatasan dan hambatan di berbagai aspek seperti (1) kemampuan finansial yang minim, (2) pengalaman politik yang sedikit, (3) jaringan sosial yang terbatas, (4) keterbatasan ruang gerak dan waktu serta, (5) rendahnya motivasi politisi perempuan dalam berkarir politik. Perpaduan diskriminasi partai dan hambatan-hambatan besar pada sisi supply ini menyebabkan outcome berupa rendahnya keterpilihan perempuan di Bali pada pemilu 2019.

This research explains the relationships between gender stereotypes that live inside patriarchal culture among Balinese with voting behaviour of female candidates in the 2014 legislative election. Using quantitative method, the number of the samples are 800 which are proportionally spread in all Bali regencies and cities. The margin of error of this research is 3% at 95% confidence level. The sampling technique used is multi stage random sampling. The research findings suggest that in the 2014 legislative election, only 4% of the Balinese respondents voted for female candidates. This is due to the gender stereotyping factor, where there are very few issues or policies that are considered more capable of being resolved by female politicians. Almost all the issues that become problems in the daily life of the Balinese people are considered by the respondents to be better resolved by male politician
