Abstract

The Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic which occurred in the past year has hurt a negative impact on the world community in various sectors such as the economy, education, government, and politics. The Covid-19 pandemic also resulted in the postponement of simultaneous Regional Head Elections in Indonesia which was finally held on December 9, 2020. The simultaneous Regional Head Elections were held during the Covid-19 pandemic storm which did not show a decrease in the number of cases every day. This study aims to examine how simultaneous regional head elections have been carried out from the perspective of evaluation theory. The research method used in this research uses qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach. The results showed that the impact of simultaneous regional head elections caused the transmission of Covid-19 to tend to increase and had an impact on the low participation of the community in choosing candidate pairs. And, how are the efforts in implementing the regional elections simultaneously during a pandemic so that they can be carried out well? Researchers provide suggestions for the government to focus on preventing the transmission of Covid-19 and prepare the most appropriate selection method to face the challenges of a future pandemic in Indonesia
