STUDI GOLPUT PADA PEMILIH PEMULA (KASUS PEMILUKADA GUBERNUR RIAU TAHUN 2013 DI KELURAHAN REJOSARI KECAMATAN TENAYAN RAYA)
Abstract: Riau Province
has conducted election
of regional heads
in 2013 to
elect the Governor and the Vice Governor. However, the number of people who do not use
their voting rights remain high, including the beginners. Most of the beginners
prefer not to vote in the election activities because they are not congenial to
the things related to the world of politics. There are 807 beginners who do
abstention at the time
of the election
of Governor of
Riau in 2013.
The purpose of
this research is to
investigate the characteristics of
the beginners who
choose not to vote and the factors that influence the
beginners not to vote at the election of the Riau Governor by using Rush and
Althoff’s theory which explains the causes of abstention.
This research uses
a descriptive-quantitative approach.
The result of
this esearch is obtained by doing
surveys and giving questionnaires which are later presented in the form of
images. Based on the result of the
research, it is known that the factors which affect the beginners in doing
abstention in the election of Riau Governor
is due the
feeling of apathetic
and disbelief from
the beginners towards the
government and the idea that the election is just a waste of time. The beginners are also cynical because they
think that the candidate is not able to lead the region and they do not believe
in government systems. In addition, the
idea that the election is pointless
and the right to vote can not influence government policy show the existence of the group of beginners
who remote themselves from the
election activities. Furthermore,
the beginners also act
anomie by believing that the candidates only give
promises and the election does not bring an y change for political survival and
the region itself.
