Summary: | In 2024, Indonesia is poised to conduct a significant national event - the simultaneous general election for both presidential and local leadership positions. Historically, manual voting has been the method of choice since the inaugural election in 1955. However, as Indonesia prepares for future electoral exercises, the potential adoption of electronic voting systems is a consideration that merits comprehensive investigation, given the nation's expansive geographical spread and substantial population, which presents considerable challenges in executing any election. Despite several countries previously implementing electronic voting systems in their general elections, these cases have often culminated in failure, primarily due to concerns surrounding data security, public trust, and technological preparedness. This study, employing the structural equation modelling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) approach, endeavors to evaluate the multifarious factors that could influence the successful deployment of an electronic voting system in Indonesia. The findings reveal that dimensions such as trust in government, technology, and electoral commissions; technological infrastructure; human resources; and constitutional readiness all significantly contribute to the potential success of electronic voting system implementation. These results are anticipated not only to inform the development and application of electronic voting in Indonesia, but also to provide a foundational platform for future research efforts dedicated to constructing a robust and effective electronic voting framework. |
