| Sumario: | Election supervisors are part of the election organizers in Indonesia, regulated by Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning general elections. The regulation on women's representation in the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) is contained in Article 92, paragraph 11, as much as 30% of women's representation. This research uses a qualitative approach using archival studies on various elections and affirmative regulations. The findings in this study are the results of women's quotas spread across 514 regencies/cities. Male representatives numbered 1633 (85%) and women 274 (14%) out of 1907 commissioner seats contested. This study opens further discussion for the Indonesian government to amend the election law regarding women's representation in Bawaslu, as a regulatory sanction is required if the quota is not fulfilled. |
