Legal policy, environmental law, environmentally friendly electionsAbstract
This article aims to discuss legal policies regarding environmentally friendly elections. Based on observations in the field, there are a lot of campaign props, including banners, and billboards scattered in Banda Aceh City and Sabang City, which are posted in places where they are not intended. Even though the location for installing campaign props is as regulated in PKPU Number 15 of 2023 concerning General Election Campaigns. For this reason, it is important to carry out research on legal policy in encouraging environmentally friendly elections. This research will be able to provide benefits to the research results needed in developing legal policies that pay attention to environmental aspects in election campaign activities. The theory used in this study is legal policy theory developed by Jeffrey J. Rachlinski. The type of research used by researchers is qualitative research with a case study approach. The data collection techniques used are observation, interviews and documentation. The research results show that efforts to protect the environment during the campaign period in Sabang City have been carried out by various parties, but there are still a number of challenges. The differences between KPU and Bawaslu regulations regarding environmental issues also highlight inconsistencies in handling this issue. Input from researchers in this case is that strong political commitment from leaders is very necessary to overcome environmental problems. Apart from that, society must be active in monitoring and demanding that prospective leaders commit to environmental issues. Therefore, a strong political commitment from leaders is needed to overcome environmental problems.
