This study used quantitative methods through surveys to 1080 respondents which proportionally spread across all districts in Bali, conducted in May 2018. The study suggests there is a signifiant correlation between party-id and vote buying tendency. Voters with higher party-id are having the higher chances in accepting vote buying.
