Abstract

Law enforcement prohibiting the giving of money or other material to influence voters in both the legislative and regional head elections, although in practice is invisible and is no longer a public secret, is very weak. Rarely may it even have never happened, law enforcement is carried out against regional head candidates and deputies who are found to be giving money or other material, known as money politics to win their partners, it is done transparently, and it is not done until the court stage. During this time, the matter happened only to certain individuals, who were caught red-handed giving money or distributing groceries from prospective regional head pairs to the community. They had toundergo legal proceedings, while the intellectual actor was never revealed. So it is deemed necessary to have a reconstruction of Law Number 8 of 2015. Key words: Reconstruction of Law Enforcement, Money Politics, Progressive Law
