Abstract
Elections are an implementation of orderly structured and organized democratic practices. Supervision of elections is needed to ensure that elections run democratically, therefore there is a need for well-organized and competent election oversight bodies. The emergence of violations in the administration of elections has injured the democratic process, and hence the existence of the election supervisory body (Bawaslu) is to conduct surveillance and enforcement of election violation reports. Based on this research it can emphasis thats the presence of Bawaslu is not only to ensure that the election runs well according to the rules of law, but also as the parties involved in the event of an election dispute. In the future, the role of Bawaslu needs to be maintained and even improved so that the quality of elections is well maintained.
