SIMULTANEOUS ELECTIONS, MULTI-PARTY PRESIDENTIAL, AND COATTAIL EFFECTS IN INDONESIA
Abstract
The 2019 simultaneous elections are the first experience for the Indonesian people. Simultaneity between the legislative and presidential elections is intended, for one, to produce a coattail effect. Based on this, this study seeks to answer whether, in the 2019 election, there was a coattail effect and what factors caused the coattail effect to occur. This study uses a qualitative and descriptive method, using secondary data from various sources. The results of this study indicate that for the Jokowi-Ma'ruf and Prabowo-Sandi candidate pairs, the coattail effect does not always affect the vote acquisition of the supporting parties. The coattail effect is only evident in the political parties that carry the main candidate pairs, namely the PDIP and the Gerindra Party. However, there was an unusual incident where the PKS mass base gave Prabowo-Sandi a coattail effect, not the other way around.
