ABSTRACT The five-year gubernatorial election is a highly anticipated event for MSMEs that provide visual attributes, as gubernatorial candidates and their campaign teams undertake numerous activities to ensure a smooth Grati District in Pasuruan Regency is one of the areas with a relatively high concentration of screen-printing MSMEs, both in terms of business activity and their contribution to the local creative economy. This study uses a quantitative approach because its main objective is to analyze the relationship between variables X and Y through numerical measurements and statistical data processing. The subjects of this study were 10 screen printing MSMEs operating before, during, and after the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election. Based on the results of the T test, it can be seen that thitung The variable of the Gubernatorial Election (X) is 4. with a significance level of a = 0. At the same time, the table above shows a significance of 0. 000, so the regression coefficient result is 0. 000 < alpha Thus, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the 2024 East Java Gubernatorial Election Activities on the income of MSMEs in the Screen Printing Services Sector in Grati District. Pasuruan Regency. Keywords: East Java Gubernatorial Election 2024. Screen Printing MSMEs. Economic Impact. MSME Income INTRODUCTION Regional head elections (Pilkad. are a political event with significant economic impacts, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SME. that produce campaign During the campaign period, political activity typically triggers a surge in demand for promotional media such as t-shirts, banners, billboards, and other This phenomenon is not just a political dynamic. it also creates seasonal demand waves that can impact the income of micro and small businesses in the screen printing sector (Sari,2. The five-year gubernatorial election is a highly anticipated event for MSMEs that provide visual attributes, as gubernatorial candidates and their campaign teams undertake numerous activities to ensure a smooth campaign. Screen printing MSMEs are one of the sectors directly impacted by their role in providing political communication needs. Numerous studies have shown that campaign activities can stimulate the local economy by increasing demand for certain services, particularly MSMEs engaged in printing and screen printing (Rahman, 2. Grati District in Pasuruan Regency is one of the areas with a fairly active concentration of screen printing MSMEs, both in terms of business and their contribution to the local creative economy. During the 2024 gubernatorial election, several screen-printing MSMEs in this area experienced a drastic increase in orders, not due to a change in business strategy but rather to the intensity of campaign activities that require large quantities of attributes. This indicates that political momentum can trigger temporary income increases (Utami, 2. Volume 6. Number 2, 2025 https://ijble. com/index. php/journal/index Income is the total receipts of an individual or household during a specific According to classical economics, income is determined by the ability of factors of production to produce goods and services. The greater the ability of factors of production to produce goods and services, the greater the income generated (Yulianti. The fact that the increase in revenue stems from order quantity rather than business innovation is a key point that warrants further analysis. Dependence on political momentum can create sharp, high-revenue fluctuations during the campaign period, which then return to normal or even decline after the campaign is over. This phenomenon raises questions about the extent of the 2024 gubernatorial election's impact on the revenue performance of screen-printing MSMEs, particularly whether the surge is a significant economic effect or simply a seasonal phenomenon that recurs with each political contest (Hendrawan, 2. To date, there has been little research specifically examining the relationship between regional election activities and the revenue of screen printing MSMEs in certain areas, particularly in Grati District. Understanding seasonal demand patterns in this sector is crucial for mapping local economic potential and identifying the risk of dependence on political momentum. Therefore, this study is relevant for providing a quantitative overview of the impact of the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election on the revenue of screen-printing MSMEs in Grati District. METHOD This study uses a quantitative approach because its main objective is to analyze the relationship between variables X and Y through numerical measurements and statistical data processing (Sugiyono, 2. This approach allows researchers to obtain an objective picture of the magnitude of gubernatorial election activities' impact on the income of screen-printing MSMEs. The research design used is quantitative descriptive with a relationship analysis format. This design was chosen to test how the independent variable, namely the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election activities (X), impacts the dependent variable, namely the income of screen printing MSMEs (Y) (Creswell, 2. The study was conducted in Grati District. Pasuruan Regency, which is an area with the presence of several active screen printing MSMEs. The subjects of this study were 10 screen printing MSMEs operating before, during, and after the implementation of the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election. The population of this study was all screen printing MSMEs in Grati District because the number was relatively small, namely 10 MSMEs, so the method used was saturated sampling, where the entire population was sampled (Riduwan, 2.

CONCLUSION The 2024 East Java Gubernatorial Election significantly affected the revenue of screen-printing MSMEs in Grati District. This can be seen from the preparation stage to the implementation stage, such as the ordering of several attributes for each candidate pair who wanted to hold a campaign, which included ordering t-shirts for each candidate pair, banners, billboards, so that it would indirectly increase the revenue of each screen printing MSME that was targeted by the candidate pair to order several attributes, this also made the community, especially in Grati District, more Reference
