Politik Hukum Pengawasan Data Pribadi dalam Pemilu: Analisis Kasus Pencatatan NIK/KTP di SIPOL dan Tantangan Implementasi UU PDP untuk Integritas Demokrasi

Abstract

The management of personal data in electoral processes has become a critical concern as it directly impacts the legitimacy of democratic governance. The emergence of cases where NIK/KTP (National Identification Numbers/Identity Cards) were recorded without the owners’ consent in the Political Party Information System (SIPOL) highlights weaknesses in data protection within the electoral environment. This study examines Indonesia’s legal politics in regulating and supervising the use of personal data in elections, while evaluating the extent to which the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) can be applied in such cases. Using a qualitative approach based on case studies and regulatory analysis, the research finds that unclear supervision mechanisms, limited institutional capacity, and low public literacy regarding data security are major obstacles in implementing the UU PDP. These conditions pose risks to electoral integrity and may undermine public trust. The study emphasizes the need to strengthen regulatory governance, improve supervisory systems, and enhance public awareness to ensure effective personal data protection in the electoral process.
