Management of Public Information Services General Election Supervisory Agency of South Kalimantan Province

Abstract

This study aims to determine the management process of Public Information Services at the General Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) of South Kalimantan Province in terms of the functions of planning, organizing and implementing as well as the constraints that exist in the service process. This research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive type approach and data collection was carried out by means of interviews, documentation studies and observations. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Provincial Bawaslu's public information service management to the public is still not optimal. This is due to several obstacles including the absence of a strategic plan, minimal budget support, limited human resources, and imperfect regulations.
