There have been interesting cases about reporting Evi Apita Maya to the Constitutional Court due to editing photos that were considered excessive for display during the campaign. She won the most votes and entered the DPD RI Senayan.
Can we think the problem thread here? In fact the photos that were spread were indeed edited. And in fact all the photos of candidates are also edited right? Farouk Muhammad considered the photo edited by Evi Apita Maya to be so beautiful that it included administrative violations. After all, isn't there no regulation regarding the photo that will be spread before? Even not just editing the color tone in the photo, the candidates also sometimes campaign according to their styles and also the unique photos displayed for the campaign.
For example, if this photo is indeed excessive, why do the new plaintiffs report after the results of the calculations come out. Why not during the campaign? It is impossible for the candidates to know each other about their competitors. If you may speculate a little, is it possible that there are a handful of people who are not willing to win? and find a way to drop it?
We are well aware that the democratic system is indeed a common ideal, but perhaps not one hundred percent of its implementation. Like the country of India, the country with the most population and has a democratic system. It is quite difficult to trace every corner of the city in procuring elections. Indonesia certainly has a society that is not as much as India, and technology is also almost spread throughout the city. There is a anecdote in the community that if you do not know the candidates who will be elected, the voters will arbitrarily choose. It could be from the most beautiful or handsome photo. This might happen because the lack of knowledge of voters on candidates can be due to ineffective campaigns. Well, from this it can be concluded that the people who do not know their candidates can choose without knowing the vision and mission of the legislative candidates, so the thing that must be improved is the campaign system of the legislative candidates is more so that such incidents do not recur. and if necessary make a detailed official statement regarding the campaign, so that it does not cause problems in the future.
So, if indeed we are still in the process stage, we must continue to learn and must work hand in hand to create a complete democracy in Indonesia.
