Direct regional head elections are in the context of realizing democratization at the local level. Pilkada is mandated by Article 18 Paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, so the requirements regarding people's sovereignty and democracy from the people, by the people, and for the people, must be respected as the main requirement for the implementation of regional head elections. The implementation of the 2020 General Election in its implementation is overshadowed by ethical violations in the midst of the Covid 19 outbreak.
