Keywords:
2024 General Election, Election Law, Gender Quota, Political Participation, Women’s RepresentationAbstract
The objectives of this study are: (1) to identify and analyze women’s representation in the 2024 general election in
Muna Regency, and (2) to examine the factors that hinder female legislative candidates in fulfilling their
representation quota. This research was conducted in Muna Regency, specifically at the General Elections
Commission (KPU) office and political party offices, using a normative-empirical research approach. Data collection
methods included document analysis, field surveys, and interviews, with data analyzed using qualitative descriptive
techniques. The findings show that: (1) women’s representation in the 2024 General Election in Muna Regency
included a total of 387 legislative candidates, consisting of 243 male candidates (62.79%) and 144 female candidates
(37.21%). Compared to the 2019 election, where there were 166 female candidates (39.71%), the number decreased
to 144 (37.21%) in the 2024 election. This indicates a decline in women’s representation on the candidate list by
3.65% in the 2024 election. (2) There are three main barriers faced by female legislative candidates in fulfilling
representation requirements: double burden constraints, financial limitations, and quota implementation without
adequate cadre preparation.
