Abstract

This article is written to analyze the policy of verifying the validity of citizenship for citizen who officially has dual citizenship as voters in Regional Elections 2024. The issuance of PP Number 21 of 2022 provides an opportunity for children who have dual citizenship to able to apply for registration and at the same time choose their citizenship until the deadline of 31 May 2024. One of the consequences that arise related to this is the implementation of Regional Elections 2024 that will start soon. Several cases have shown that children with dual citizenship who are over 21 years old but have not registered or chosen their citizenship but their data is recorded as legal voters in the elections. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literary study method through theory systems and electoral policy concepts. The results of the research require necessity for integration of data services between government agencies, additional stages of verifying the validity of citizenship in matching and researching voter data as well as adding information on self-identity for subjects with Dual Citizenship Children. Hopefully, the improvements to electoral policies can support much better performance in holding Regional Elections with more integrity in the future.
