The local head election in Indonesia suffers from vote buying. However, there is a lack of study compared to vote-buying case in Indonesia, especially quantitative study. Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap. The purpose is to estimate the effect of individual and community characteristics on the probability of voter to consider money or gifts in a local head election. This study uses the data from Indonesia Family Life Survey 5 (IFLS5) conducted in 2014/2015 for 29,788 respondents. As the response is a binary data, the Linear Probability Model (LPM) and logit model is utilized. The result shows that both individual and community characteristics affect vote buying in Indonesia. Voters with tertiary education are far less likely to consider money or gift by 29.1% than others. By using logit test, the coefficient is corrected. Voters with a university degree tend to not engage in vote buying by 0.27 times than the others. This study finds other interesting findings that gender matter in vote buying in Indonesia. Female voters tend to consider money or gift more than male by 2.44%. Voters who live in rural areas have a higher probability to consider vote buying by 4.55%. Living in the internet-connected community may reduce the probability of vote buying. The coefficient indicates that those with internet access have less probability to consider money or gift in an election by 1.35%. Living in a community with high social awareness makes voters less vulnerable to vote-buying. The coefficient indicates that they have less possibility to consider money by 2.44% than those living in communities with less social awareness. Thus, the strategy to eliminate vote buying should be adjusted to the character of voters in a certain community.

“…All three voting behavior models above are basically categorized by decisive factors of voting determinants of a person or group of persons (see Niemi 2008: 13-15;Evans, 2004;6-89;Heywood, 2007: 265-269;Liddle and Mujani, 2007). However, in addition to categorization of the models, voting behavior can also go through concepts of: (1) compliance of voters (Schaffer, 2005: 3-4;Schaffer, 2007: 17-29); (2) loyalty of voters (Hirschman, 1970;Anderson and Srinivasan, 2003;Evans, 2004;Bratton, 2008: 15;Bartels, 2008;14;Scaffer, 2007: 185); (3) the decision to select or choose a specific selection (see Redlawsk, 2006: 3-8;Evans, 2004: 4;Vicente 2007: 18;Woshinsky, 2008: 102-132;Zulkerman, 2005;229) Based on the previous reference, the author feels it is important to conduct a special study on the relationship between voting behavior and vote buying.…”

“…It has even been suggested that religion contributes to a growing polarisation of public opinion in the United States, although empirical evidence on this claim is rather mixed (Lehrer, 2004;Fiorina 2005). In other political systems too, religion has been shown to have a strong impact on voting behaviour (Liddle and Mujani, 2007).…”

In this article, we investigate the impact of religious involvement on voting preference for the Christian Democratic party in Belgium. Although religious involvement is declining in Western European democracies, there is still significant evidence for the influence of religion on voting behaviour. We examine the relationship between individual religiosity, community religious involvement and vote preference for the Christian Democratic party in Belgium in 2009. The results show that a Catholic denomination is the most important predictor for vote preference for the Christian Democratic party, followed by church practice. The multilevel analysis demonstrates that this effect can be observed not just at the individual level, but also at the community level as inhabitants of communities with high levels of church practice are more likely to vote for the Christian Democratic party, even controlling for their own religious background and behaviour. Religion still plays a role in determining voting preferences, with the religious effect occurring simultaneously at the individual and the community level, although it is clear that the effect is much stronger at the individual level.
