Abstract

This study aims to determine the neutrality of the Civil Servant in the Regional Head Election by taking the research location at the local government agencies of Palu City and Sigi Regency. To understand and know this, several theories are used to explain the problem. In this case, the theory of democracy is used, the theory concerning the election of regional heads, and the theory concerning the neutrality of the civil servant. The research method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, looking at the meaning for research subjects as the main thing in understanding the phenomena experienced regarding neutrality in regional head elections. In carrying out this research, a number of informants were involved, especially from civil servant circles, officials or civil servant leaders who were deemed to know and understand the nature of neutrality of civil servant in their respective work environments, and also the Commissioner of Regional Election Commission and Regional Election Monitoring Bureau of Sigi Regency and Palu City, which each are as also election organizer. In addition, secondary data searches were also carried out to complement primary data obtained from informants, by conducting library studies, document studies, and searching for secondary data directly at local government institutions or services deemed to have the data. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out by following the analysis path recommended by Miles and Hubermann: collecting data, displaying data, reducing data, analyzing data, conclusion, and verifying data.
