The results showed that Bawaslu role in the handling of violations in the general elections of DPR, DPD and DPRD members year 2024 in Nusa Tenggara Barat province is still less than optimal, it is caused by several factors: first, the lack of capacity of human resources (HR); weak human resource capacity of election supervisors at the district / city and election supervisory ranks below to understand and carry out their duties and functions. This condition occurs because of the nature of institutional panwaskab / town which is adhoc, adhoc election recruitment pattern is still not good, and the low budgetary allocation surveillance in the area. Second, regulatory factors, there are a number of provisions that restrict Bawaslu in maximizing its role, such as: short handling time violation, Bawaslu is not authorized to forcedly call in the clarification process, and the obligation to prepare minimum of two (2) evidence in forwarding the recommendations.
