Abstract: This article discusses women and family-based voter education strategies to increase community participation in regional elections in Buton.
Southeast Sulawesi.
Indonesia.
Voter education plays an important role in strengthening democracy and generating public interest, then women and families are important segments in the context of political participation in Indonesia.
This study uses qualitative methods, analyzed with political participation theory.
Data was collected by means of document study and interviews.
The documents analyzed refer to articles, books, scientific reports and various studies related to the discussion, while the informants interviewed are women voters and their This study concludes that as an election organizer, the KPU at the district/city level can adopt the concept of a social learning framework to observe the configuration and dynamics in organizing elections.
Social learning involves commissioners and the public in learning from peers, first-time voters, and available resources.
Political education can also strengthen democratization efforts and overcome negative perceptions of politics.
Voter education plans must consider the development of autonomy, open-mindedness, efficiency, transparency, and popular or non-formal education.
To increase community participation in elections, women and their families must maximize their role as segments of voters who are close to the community.
According to political participation theory, one effective strategy to increase political participation is elections that involve women and families so that people's voices can be meaningful in building democracy.

Voter education can create new, innovative and imaginative learning spaces that are oriented towards the future for a society that is able to manage itself.
1 Strengthening democracy can also be done by building interaction with voters, especially novice voters who can apply vocational education such as Jennifer Charteris, et.

in the Netherlands regarding negotiation of meaning,2 You can also go through the "Gallery Walk Seminar".
3 Facilitation of inclusion-based voter education is important to ensure the availability of equal means of participation for voters with disabilities according to the concept developed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
Regency/city general election commissions in Indonesia in realizing professional voter education can refer to the concept of the social learning dimension framework.
This social learning dimension consists of practice, value creation and domain, collective identity and organization.
This framework can be used to observe the social configuration in the implementation of elections and measure attitudes and behavior that encourage social learning for voters in districts/cities in Indonesia.
Through social learning, commissioners can obtain concrete ideas that can be applied directly in society.
Commissioners and the community not only learn through formal training or individual experience, but also through peers, first-time voters, information and resources around them,5 Commissioners must be prepared like teachers, with their students being the adult public, worthy of emulation and encouragement.
The transfer of knowledge from election organizers to the voting public and vice versa is formed through voter education.
This will become a mutually reinforcing mutual need, not just a one-sided responsibility.
The learning in this article applies the concept of adult learning, because all the targets who will be given electoral knowledge are adults.
7 However, in recent modern times the individual nature of society has strengthened, making it a challenge in itself in efforts to attract public participation in sustainable democratic development.
Broad public involvement plays an important role in ensuring the healthy quality Harmen Schaap, et al.

Voter Education Concept The concept of social learning can provide important insights in designing learning or educational strategies for the public or voters outside school education.
Social learning emphasizes the importance of social interaction, exchange of ideas, collaboration, and mutual reflection.
13 These principles can be applied in the context of public education or voter education to encourage active participation, better understanding, and ongoing knowledge development.
The concept of voter education is to adopt effective strategies involving the formation of social networks, discussion groups or forums, interaction with experts or community leaders, as well as collaborative approaches in building better knowledge and understanding.
The principles of social learning can be adapted to carry out effective learning or education strategies for the voting public.
14 It is important to continue voter education, because it will reduce voter participation, as is the case in the Czech Republic, where elections without contestation will reduce the quality of democracy and erode public participation.
15 Learning from the Czech case, we can develop voter education content that focuses on the Karel Kouba, et.

importance of healthy political competition, accountability, and active participation in the democratic process.
This content can be used as a basis for encouraging greater public participation in elections and the political process in Political education is expected to achieve several things, including:
understanding political problems better, encouraging critical thinking, building democratic participation, strengthening democratization, and overcoming negative views about political audiences.
16 This concept allows every citizen to be actively involved in understanding and studying politics, developing their own critical thinking in response to available political information, becoming a direct part of the democratization process and overcoming the traditional negative view of passive, uncritical and uninfluential political audiences.
17 It is also important for the design of voter education concepts to adopt citizenship learning materials which must involve the development of autonomy and open thinking.
This concept allows for diversity of views, the birth of their own critical thinking and the emergence of participation and solidarity.
The design of the voter education concept should fulfill the elements of efficiency and transparency in the legislative process, so that it can arouse public enthusiasm.
Voter education for the novice voter segment is important to be directed at developing understanding and participatory skills through true inclusion.
This concept is that by involving them in the process of forming participatory programs and budgets, they can learn about democratic values, decision making and responsibilities as active citizens.
True inclusion-based learning can develop a better understanding of societal issues, learn to collaborate with others, and experience their meaningful contribution in overcoming public problems.
19 In Gana, attracting youth participation is carried out through an empowerment approach with a youth intervention program.
This empowerment is directed at overcoming the problem of youth exclusion and enabling them to be involved in broader national policy making.
20 The concept of natural learning in school children from fishing and farming communities in Gana can be adopted in voter education, especially based on the local context and life experiences of students, encouraging active involvement in the learning process, emphasizing the Muh Fathoni Hsyim, "Literasi Politik Komunitas Samin Di Bojonegoro Dalam Pemilu Perspektif Fiqih Siyasah.

relationship between classroom learning and students' real experiences in the classroom, and encourage cooperative and collaborative learning between Voter education must be able to touch voters who are currently in the workforce, respect the democratic processes that society has had before, recognize individual participation and involvement in politics, support management in appreciating and facilitating learning in the workplace.
22 The role of institutions such as election management institutions in Indonesia in the individual socialization process is very important.
Individual learning attitudes are sometimes influenced by educational and family background factors, so individuals in each institution need to be encouraged to participate in training and voter education activities.
Facilitating voter education for the disabled segment can provide a perspective on the need for equal inclusion and accessibility for all individuals, including people with disabilities, in the democratic process.
24 Voter education by providing dialogue with the community allows for information gathering, providing information and inclusion.
This concept is a characteristic of public services in Sweden which provides space for participation for citizens as a solution to renew democracy and obtain legitimate input in decision making.
The concept of voter education can also adopt lobbying strategies and actively participate in the political process, as well as provide an understanding of the mechanisms of political decision making and the importance of citizens' voices in the process.
In the current era of information technology, it is also important to develop digital-based voter education designs in order to encourage participation.
The concept takes into account financial and time resources, technical skills, age.

individual benefits, collective benefits, and effective communication strategies.
The use of digital technology in voter education can provide similar benefits.
For example, the use of online platforms or social media can be used to provide information, educational material, and discussion space for voters who want to learn more about candidates, political issues, and the general election process.
Digital technology can also be used to facilitate active voter participation through online surveys, election monitoring, or digital campaigns.
28 The concept of digitalization as in Germany can also be adapted to voter education.
This concept guarantees to improve the principles of accessibility, effectiveness and participation in the educational process related to general elections.
The design of voter education materials must raise equality and justice as well as awareness of minority group issues,30 Providing access to education for groups of women such as refugees in Syria can develop their careers in new 31 Women's leadership is also more prominent in the field than in the workroom, especially in inviting and caring for the elderly.
32 The concept of voter education is expected to form: mind mapping, visual analysis, changing perspectives and increasing participation.
33 It is also important for voter education to be designed so that it can achieve several things, namely the formation of collaboration and partnerships, transformative learning, increased participation, problem solving and innovation, and increased social awareness.
34 The concept of voter education in the form of training needs to be designed by following the principles: basic knowledge, critical knowledge, active involvement.

inclusiveness, partnerships with external parties.
35 The transformational learning and actions of stakeholders in developing a collaborative platform between Swedish regional authority organizations (RAO) and civil society to provide welfare services can also be adapted for the purposes of developing a voter education concept, especially in the aspects of collaboration between the public sector and civil society, conflict and collaboration, expansive learning, and agency transformation.
36 The important thing to note is that voters in Indonesia are voters who are 17 years of age or older or have previously been married, so voter education can be adapted from adult learning policies such as in Portugal and Slovenia.
Community Participation Concept In the context of public participation, the concept of social learning strategies can be applied to develop people's knowledge, understanding and active participation in relevant issues.
Through social learning, individuals can learn from each other, share perspectives, and contribute to collective decision-making 38 Participation refers to the active involvement and contribution of community leaders in the ongoing development of ideas.
This participation involves various target groups, including community leaders, first-time voters, citizen scholars, senior citizens, government officials, election stakeholders.
The aim of this participation is to improve the quality of democracy in district/city level communities in the future.
Community leaders are involved in problem analysis, cause analysis, selecting solutions, as well as formulating frameworks to address community needs.
This participation also involves a mutually beneficial process of learning, knowledge exchange and evaluation between relevant stakeholders.
Active and informed participation of the public is essential to ensure a healthy democratic process and elections that represent the will of the Public participation can be defined as the active involvement of citizens in the political process, especially through participation in general elections and subnational elections.
Public participation includes citizens' rights to elect political candidates, cast their votes in elections, and contribute to the formation Johanna Kypsyn, "Demands-Based and Employer-Driven Curricula: Defining Knowledge in Higher Vocational Education and Training," Studies in Continuing Education 42.

of public policy through participation in broader political processes.
In this context, public participation plays an important role in ensuring the healthy quality of democracy and strengthening political accountability.
40 In the context of elections, good interfaith dialogue can create a climate of inclusion and mutual respect among citizens with diverse religious backgrounds.
This can strengthen cooperation, mutual understanding, and social cohesion between different religious groups, which in turn can encourage their participation in political processes, including elections.
Expanding participation also needs to be accompanied by issues of access, and social exclusion also influences education policy and is a global challenge that is faced together.
Expanded participation can be defined as increasing the participation of underrepresented groups by working to ensure that all people who have the potential to benefit from higher education and lifelong learning have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their background.
These groups include: those from low socio-economic backgrounds, living in the most deprived areas, and people from ethnic minority groups.
42 The concept of European Union civil society participation in elections includes 3 forms, namely openness and inclusiveness, the role of civil society, and participatory inclusiveness.
Ensure that the election process is open to all citizens, takes into account the diversity of society and provides fair opportunities to all interest groups and individuals and does not prioritize the interests of elites or certain interests only.
Strengthening the participation of children and youth, as well as the potential for activism as a relatively new concept in fulfilling the rights of children and youth.
The activism of these children and youth can explore the potential of their political identities and social movements in challenging adult power.
This concept adopts the idea of an "ecology of participation" that involves intergenerational relationships in developing "critical social capital" for children and youth activism in various forms of participation, ranging from conventional to protest and transformation.
The concept of public participation for youth can be developed through the experiences and insights of youth in coalitions.
Through coalition practices it is important in shaping youth participation in dealing with political, social, economic and environmental affairs in Antarctica.
The youth involved in the coalition were then analyzed for their motivations, the challenges Karel Kouba and Jakub Lysek, "The Return of Silent ElectionsA, p.

they faced and the impact they created.
44 The concept of participation is not only used to attract young people, but can also be adopted by civil society organizations in elderly care in Sweden.
This organization exists to provide information, advocacy and active participation in political campaigns and election activities for the elderly.
Voter Education Strategy Appropriate voter education for each voter segment is expected to raise voter awareness.
It is hoped that voter awareness can raise public participation in Strong public support will produce strong democracy both in process and results.
Strong legitimacy from the public will produce a government that is strong, clean and legal, honest and fair for all and strong in protecting the community, nation and state.
In the voter education strategy as shown in Table 1, there are various voter segments that are the focus, such as beginners, women, people with disabilities, families and the general public.
Each strategy has different goals and approaches according to the target voter segment.
These strategies are expected to increase voter awareness, knowledge and active participation in the democratic process.

The output from the next course can be optimized as a democracy There are 55 democracy volunteers involved in participatory voter education and have a duty period of 3 months.
This voter education can also be expressed as participatory volunteering in elections.
This strategy involves volunteers who are specially educated and trained to disseminate voter information and education to the public.
These volunteers can act as agents of change in their respective environments, by providing a more personal and indepth understanding of the importance of participation in elections.
Individually they must live independently and they must know who is participating in supporting them.

This strategy uses art as a medium to convey voter education messages to first-time voters.
This competition can involve various forms of art, such as theater, music, dance or fine arts which have cultural significance and local wisdom in Buton.
The creative dance competition that was staged consisted of creations of local dances from the Butonese people, namely linda, mangaru and manca.
This dance is performed by a pair of young people or more in the Linda dance, a pair of opposite men in the Mangaru and Manca dances accompanied by the performance of traditional Buton musical instruments in the form of 1 large drum, 2 large gongs .

Through this media, information and knowledge can be conveyed to the general public at large.
However, not all voters in Buton regularly access RRI Baubau broadcasts, so other alternatives need to be implemented.
Voter education strategies use various visual aids, such as posters, billboards, banners, brochures and other visual media, to convey voter education messages to the general public.
This visual aid can be installed in strategic places, such as highways, shopping centers or other public facilities, so that it can reach 95 villages/sub-districts in Buton Regency.

voters, this figure shows the potential to increase voter participation in the future.
In the 2017 Buton Regent and Deputy Regent Election, there was a significant increase in the voter participation rate to 70.

In the 2018 Southeast Sulawesi Governor and Deputy Governor Election in Buton, there was another increase in the voter participation rate to 70.
This increase shows that the community is increasingly active in participating in regional head elections.

In general, the trend of voter participation in elections and general elections in Buton shows an increase over time.
This can be interpreted as a sign of increasing political awareness and active participation of society in the democratic process.
Increasing voter participation is important to strengthen democratic legitimacy and maintain the sustainability of the democratic process in the region.
In line with that, in the context of political participation, community involvement as a citizen's right in the general election process is part of their participation in building democracy, both directly and indirectly, which can influence state policy.
114 Furthermore, political participation involving women and families is a strategic and effective step in an effort to increase public participation in elections both at the regional, regional and general elections.
So, that the voices of women and the community can be accommodated in the policies that will be determined by the government.

Conclusion Women and families are an important segment of political participation in Indonesia.
Increasing political participation can be done with voter education, which plays an important role in increasing public participation in district/city general elections in Indonesia.
The concept of voter education was developed to target all segments of voters by involving many parties, so that the concept of social learning can be used as an effective approach in voter education, which involves social interaction, exchange of ideas, collaboration and joint reflection.
The transfer of knowledge between election organizers and the voting public occurs through voter education, which should be a shared responsibility.
It is important to develop voter education content that focuses on the importance of healthy political competition, accountability, and active participation in the democratic process.
Political education can play a role in understanding political issues better, encouraging critical thinking, building democratic participation, strengthening democratization, and overcoming negative views of political Regency/city KPUs in Indonesia should apply the social learning dimensions framework concept to observe and measure voters' attitudes and behavior in social learning.
Voter education should adopt citizenship learning materials that involve developing autonomy and open thinking, as well as fulfilling elements of efficiency and transparency in the legislative process.
increase community participation in elections, women and their families must maximize their role as segments of voters who are close to the community.
According to political participation theory, one effective strategy to increase political participation is elections that involve women and families so that people's voices can be meaningful in building democracy.
Synergy is needed between election organizers, educational institutions and the community in implementing effective and sustainable voter education.
