Quantitative survey reveals money politics significantly influences voting intention in local elections, suggesting a need for electoral law reform and improved voter education.
This study explores the impact of money politics on voter intentions in the mayoral election, emphasising the role of political ethics in shaping democratic behaviour. Using a quantitative survey approach, the study involved 1,516 respondents in Bandung City. The analysis uses multinomial logistic regression to test how voters' income level moderates the influence of money politics on their intention to vote for a particular candidate. The results show a significant relationship: low-income voters are more influenced by money politics. Political ethics, voter education and the need for electoral law reform are discussed as important factors in addressing this challenge. This research contributes to the discourse on improving the quality of democracy through ethical electoral practices.
