“…Having established the illegality of these actions, the third part of this chapter evaluates the impact of prohibited campaign funds on the quality of democratic institutions and the outcome of elections. While there is sufficient evidence that the current campaign financing system fuels corruption, it does not seem to seriously distort the result of local ballots, as claimed by some authors (Choi 2005;Hadiz 2007). Finally, I explain how the inherent pragmatism of the Indonesian elite vis-à-vis illegal activity has contributed to the post-Suharto polity's perception of itself as a transitional and 'preliminary' state.…”

“…In Indonesia, however, the local elections revealed a yawning gap between those few who could afford to be politically active and the overwhelming majority who could not. This and other shortcomings inspired some of the more negative accounts of Indonesia's direct local elections (Rinakit 2005;Choi 2005), most of which argued that the polls were rather shallow procedures without much democratic substance.…”

“…Some studies only address the issue of participation rate of the citizen in the elections (Hill, 2003;Liddle & Mujani, 2007;Pradhan et al, 2014). Although there are some studies that discuss vote buying, they use only a qualitative approach (Choi, 2007;Nurdin, 2016). Further, a recent vote-buying study only figures the strategies of vote buying conducted by candidates .…”

“…In 2017 regional head election, there were 1030 cases of fraud with 600 cases related to money politic (www.bawaslu.go.id). The implementation of direct election in a region has not been able to eliminate the practice of money politics, in fact, changed its form (Choi, 2007). Vote buying in Indonesia is mostly conducted through a broker coordinated by candidate or party to buy the vote .…”

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.
