This research aims to explain the hoax phenomenon with the concept of electoral manipulation in the form of information on the holding of 2019 Presidential and Vice Presidential General Election. Hoax problems in elections are often found in several countries such as Venezuela, France, the United States, and Indonesia. This research is qualitative research by combining primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained through interview techniques with several institutions concerned about elections and hoaxes. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained through literature, news, and documentation which support this research. As Alberto Simpser’s view in this research expresses, electoral manipulation aims to increase the influence of groups of political actors on citizens as voters. Electoral manipulation was seen as a tool to win the upcoming elections and as a tool to influence people's behavior - elites, citizens, bureaucrats, organizations, politicians, and others - with excessive and blatant manipulation seeming logical. Therefore, this research found that by linking hoaxes as a form of informational electoral manipulation, it is found that hoaxes do not only attack political opponents. However, hoaxes as a part of electoral manipulation in the form of information have implications for efforts to delegitimize public trust in electoral organizers, especially the General Election Commission (KPU).

The results showed that PPP set a target to win 8% of the vote at the national level. To achieve this target, PPP has taken several strategies, including: visiting Islamic boarding schools, approaching the millennial generation, introducing new brands, and supporting the Joko Widodo and Ma'ruf Amin couple. However, PPP's hopes of gaining victory could not be realized because it faced several obstacles, namely: PPP's internal divisions, cracking at the ballot box, lack of public figures, and corruption cases. Some of these factors made PPP the party that took the last position in the vote that was declared to have passed as part of the members of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia.
