INTRODUCTION
Indonesia has carried out general elections starting in 1955 (the old order period), 1971,1977,1982,1987,1992 (the new order period), and the reform order period in 1999, 2004, 2009and 2014(Majid & Sugitanata, 2021. Each of these general elections involves the political participation of people who are 17 years old and or have been married. In General Elections, both Legislative Elections (PILEG), Presidential Elections (PILPRES), and Regional Head Elections (PILKADA) the role and participation of the community is very important, because one of the successes of the election implementation is determined by how the community participates in exercising their right to vote in the election.

ASN is the status of work in society according to the 1945 Constitution, the state and government are in carrying out government and development tasks (Oktarina, 2013). The smooth implementation of government tasks and national development is highly dependent on ASN.
Approaching the Regional Head Election, the political climate is increasingly tense and intense. The political machine is actively moving to realize the political goals of each candidate. The role of the bureaucracy is crucial in this regard, because it is prone to being politicized by regional head candidates and their deputies (Abustan, 2022). The bureaucracy in Indonesia today is often described from two contradictory perspectives. On the one hand, it is considered an organization that is inefficient, complicated, and prone to corruption.

To overcome this, the KPU needs to have thorough preparations and plans, pay attention to every detail, and coordinate with related parties. In addition, several solutions that can be implemented are making improvements to the vote counting information system, improving the quality of ballot papers, and ensuring other technical requirements are met.

Civil servants who remain neutral and carry out their duties professionally can maintain political inclusiveness by providing equal opportunities for all people and community groups to participate in the political process (Heroes, 2019).

Nonetheless, Civil servants involvement has a negative impact on public services and the performance of government agencies. Civil servants who are involved in political campaigns can lose neutrality and professionalism in public service, as well as trigger conflict and competition between them. This presents a lesson that Civil servants must maintain neutrality and professionalism, and the government needs to tighten rules and discipline to prevent Civil servants involvement in practical politics (Salma, 2023).
The involvement of mayoral candidates in influencing Civil servants can also undermine political inclusiveness and the quality of public services. Civil servants should be neutral and independent in carrying out their duties, without taking sides or supporting certain candidates.

Utilization of the bureaucracy by candidates for mayor and deputy mayor to influence the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the 2015 Palu mayoral and deputy mayoral elections.
The placement of ASN in strategic positions by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor candidates aims to support the implementation of the policies and programs being carried out. However, the placement must pay attention to the criteria, qualifications, and the merit system principle. The KPU can anticipate the placement of ASNs that are not neutral by drafting strict regulations and avoiding the placement of ASNs that are indicated to favor one pair of candidates. This is important to ensure elections run in a democratic, honest and fair manner.
KPU needs to carry out strict monitoring and supervision of the appointment and placement of ASN in strategic positions within the bureaucracy. HR training and development needs to be provided to ASN to increase their competency and capacity. Coordination with related agencies and dispute resolution is also important in maintaining compliance with the regulations. Political parties have an important role in ensuring the placement of loyal and trustworthy ASNs. The KPU must maintain its neutrality and independence in carrying out its duties.
Political parties can anticipate the placement of ASN in strategic positions by carrying out the right selection and recruitment, providing training and competency development, building a network of trust, conducting monitoring and evaluation, and increasing transparency and accountability. With these efforts, political parties can ensure that the ASNs placed are loyal and trustworthy people. NGOs can also make similar efforts to ensure good implementation of policies and programs.
NGOs can monitor the ASN selection process, conduct surveys of the ASN that have been placed, invite the public to participate in monitoring, provide information and educational materials, conduct advocacy and lobbying, and collaborate with related institutions. These things are done to ensure the placement of qualified and trustworthy ASNs in strategic positions, as well as to improve supervision of the ASN placement process so that it runs transparently and fairly.
The community can help anticipate the placement of ASN in the right strategic positions by implementing various efforts. One of the things to avoid is giving promises or rewards to ASNs in return for their support in elections. ASN must maintain political neutrality, integrity and independence in carrying out their duties. The act of giving promises or rewards to ASN can violate the rules and threaten the integrity of government institutions. Candidates may also face serious legal consequences if they engage in such practices.
The General Election Commission (KPU) has an important role in maintaining integrity and fairness in general elections. To anticipate the behavior of giving promises or rewards, the KPU conducts outreach and education, as well as monitors, supervises, and forms an election supervisory team. The KPU also uses technology, such as CCTV and election information systems, to monitor the voting process online. This effort aims to ensure that elections run fairly, free from behavior that is detrimental to the democratic process, including giving promises or rewards to civil servants.
Political parties participating in general elections must also comply with applicable rules and ethics, including the prohibition of making promises or rewards to civil servants. To anticipate this behavior, parties can provide education and training to cadres and campaign teams, implement a strict monitoring and control system, conduct outreach to the public, coordinate with security forces and election organizers, and establish strict sanctions for violators.
This effort aims to ensure that political parties and candidates comply with the rules, maintain the neutrality of ASN, and prevent the practice of giving promises or rewards that are detrimental to the integrity of general elections. Election parties need to maintain commitment and consistency in carrying out election rules and ethics in order to create clean and democratic elections, and civil servants can carry out their duties in a professional and neutral manner. Giving promises or rewards in elections is considered unethical and illegal, undermining the democratic process which is supposed to be fair and honest. The people of Palu City need to build awareness of the importance of honesty and integrity in elections, ASN must remain neutral and objective, and the authorities must carry out strict supervision to ensure fair elections. The public must have the courage to report if they find unethical or illegal behavior, and put forward the principles of honesty, integrity and healthy democracy in elections. The KPU has an important duty to ensure that elections are fair, transparent and free from unauthorized interference.
Central, provincial and district/city KPU have different roles in anticipating the behavior of giving promises or rewards from candidates for Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Efforts that can be made include establishing clear rules and sanctions, disseminating rules and sanctions, active supervision, and working with related agencies such as Bawaslu, Polri, and the Attorney General's Office. The central, provincial and regional governments also have an important role to play in anticipating this behavior through education and training on government ethics, making strict rules, supervising and monitoring, providing easily accessible complaint channels, and imposing strict penalties on violators.
This aims to ensure that elections are fair, transparent, and free from unethical or illegal behavior that could undermine the integrity of the democratic process. ASNs also need to understand the importance of maintaining neutrality and not being swayed by promises or rewards from candidates for Mayor and Deputy Mayor, as well as carrying out their duties professionally and avoiding political activities that violate ethics.
In dealing with bureaucratic exploitation, the KPU must uphold the principles of integrity, neutrality and professionalism in carrying out its duties as general election administrator. The central government also needs to take steps such as affirming the principle 1306 http://devotion.greenvest.co.id|Abdul Kadir Patta, Muhammad Basir, Darwis, Abdul Rivai of neutrality for ASN, strengthening the bureaucratic supervision and control system, and providing education and training to ASN regarding neutrality and integrity.
In order to deal with the use of bureaucracy by candidates for Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Palu, the Central Government has several strategies. First, strict supervision and control of ASN with rules governing the neutrality and integrity of ASN. Second, training and outreach to ASN to increase awareness of the importance of neutrality. Third, increased supervision from independent parties such as KPU and Panwaslu. Fourth, the use of information technology to increase transparency. However, public participation is also important in ensuring that elections are in accordance with democratic principles. Apart from that, political parties can also take steps such as establishing good communication with ASN, making written agreements, and providing education to ASN about election ethics and procedures.
NGOs can carry out advocacy and campaigns to support the independence and neutrality of ASN in the election of Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Palu. The community needs to have high awareness of the importance of maintaining the independence of the bureaucracy and ASN from political interference. One of the steps that can be taken is to increase public understanding of the rights and obligations in the Election of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. The public can also monitor the electoral process through active participation in public forums and establishing independent oversight bodies. KPU Palu City has the responsibility to carry out elections in an honest and transparent manner, but needs to face the challenge of using bureaucracy by candidates. To overcome this, KPU Palu City has several strategies as follows: 1) Dissemination of information and education KPU Palu City conducts outreach and education to the public and civil servants regarding the rules and regulations that apply in the Election of Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Palu. This is done so that the public and ASN can understand the importance of ASN neutrality in general elections and not be influenced by certain parties. 2) Formation of the Election Supervisory Team KPU Palu City forms an Election Supervisory Team consisting of members of the public, election observers, and representatives of political parties. This team is tasked with monitoring the implementation of the election and supervising any violations or actions that are not in accordance with the rules. 3) Law enforcement KPU Palu City is committed to upholding the law and reporting any violations or actions that are not in accordance with the regulations to the security forces and authorized institutions. This is done so that the perpetrators do not feel safe and get a deterrent effect.

4) Collaboration with related institutions
The Palu City Election Commission is collaborating with related institutions such as the Police, Attorney General's Office, and the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN) to supervise ASN so that they do not get involved in practical politics or take actions that are detrimental to the implementation of general elections.

5) Strict supervision
The Palu City Election Commission strictly supervises the implementation of elections and the performance of ASN duties during the campaign and general election periods. Supervision is carried out to anticipate the occurrence of violations and actions that are not in accordance with the rules. 6) Openness and transparency KPU Palu City opens access to information and reports any developments that occur during the implementation of the general election. This is done so that the public and NGOs also have a role in overseeing elections and can take the following actions: 1) Educate and provide information to ASN about their rights and obligations. 2) Monitor the political activities of candidates for Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
3) Provide a complaint or complaint mechanism for ASN who feel pressured. 4) Strengthen oversight of the general election process.
NGOs must work independently and neutrally, and not break the law. Intimidation or threats against ASN is illegal and immoral. General elections must be carried out freely and fairly without interference that harms individual freedom to choose.
However, as a response to the possibility of intimidation or threats that could occur during the mayoral and deputy mayoral elections in Palu City, several efforts can be made to minimize this, including: 1) Voter education campaign Voter education is one of the important efforts to ensure that voters know their rights and know how to report acts of intimidation or threats that may occur. Educational campaigns can be carried out through social media, bulletin boards, radio announcements, and other activities.

2) Strict supervision and surveillance during the election period
It is best if there is an independent watchdog group that monitors voting activity, so that it can provide reports and record suspicious activity. In addition, supervisors at election sites must also be more alert and ready to deal with any acts of intimidation or threats that may occur.

3) Election ASN training
The government must provide special training to ASN involved in elections, such as security officers or election committees. Such training can provide an understanding of the importance of maintaining security and safety during elections, as well as provide strategies for dealing with suspicious or problematic situations.

4) Legal protection and whistleblower
The government can also provide legal protection for election civil servants who report acts of intimidation or threats. This can encourage ASNs to report any suspicious actions that occur, without fear of negative consequences for themselves.

5) Collaboration between related parties
Finally, collaboration between related parties such as the security forces, the government, and civil society organizations can help minimize acts of intimidation or threats. Collaboration can increase the effectiveness of monitoring and reporting, thereby better preventing or dealing with unauthorized acts. However, what is most important is that all parties involved in the election must respect individual freedom to choose and act in a fair and transparent manner. Any acts of intimidation or threats made could undermine the integrity of elections and violate human rights.

This can be detrimental to certain parties or candidates and undermine public confidence in the electoral process. 2) The Influence of Money and Power: Unchecked political inclusivity can also increase the influence of money and power in elections. Parties or candidates with more financial resources or political support may be better able to manipulate election results and win more votes.
3) Social Conflict: Unchecked political inclusivity can also trigger social conflict among groups vying for power or fighting for their interests. This conflict could harm political and social stability in Central Sulawesi.
