BACKGROUND
In
late 2015, there will be local elections in 269 cities in 11 provinces. The new
local election Law Number 1/2015 -which SIAP 1 also contributed to through
policy advocacy on campaign financing stipulations - introduces key reforms including campaign expenditure cap (a
complement to the existing donation cap), and state financing of some types of
campaign activities. These are designed as a cost control measure, to create a
more level playing field. KPU, KPU Province, and KPU Kabupaten/Kota are
assigned by the law to determine the campaign expenditure cap by considering
numbers of residents, geographic scope
of the districts, and local cost standards. The state financing of certain
campaign activities is organized by KPU through facilitation of public debate,
distribution of campaign materials, and media advertisements under state
budget.
The
upcoming local election has caused public concerns due to limited preparation time,
caused by delays in the law making process. In addition, concerns remain on the
classic problem of vote buying, campaign finance regulation compliance, voter
awareness about campaign financing, as well as the general performance of
election management bodies. Thus, SIAP-1 plans to conduct
monitoring in 3 provinces, 3 cities and 3 districts to promote transparency and
accountability of campaign financing and its reporting by engaging 18 local
observers. Observers will submit the data and information using election
monitoring application (IT-based). In this regards, MSI SIAP-1 seeks the
expertise of IT Consultant to provide assistance in customizing the application
for election monitoring application. In addition, the consultant will also
train and provide assistance to local observers to use the application.
