The lack of public participation has caused the number of voters that the Pesawaran Regency KPU wants to achieve to be proof that its performance is still lacking, the disappointment of some people towards the leaders, among other things, gave birth to an attitude of abstaining from voting in elections. The implementation of regional elections is of course the full authority of the Pesawaran Regency KPU, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic the Pesawaran Regency KPU must think of a strategy so that public participation in exercising their political rights does not have an impact on the number of abstentions.

Theoretically, a rule will apply effectively if it is based on three philosophical validity, namely the ideal principle, juridical validity in the sense that the provisions are made by an authorized institution and sociologically enforceable if these rules can be binding and are recognized effectively by the community , this sociological validity certainly has something to do with the quantity of socialization carried out by officials who are authorized to the existing provisions.
