This article describes the power network of Minangkabau's penghulu adat in West Sumatera. As known in West Sumatera, the penghulu has a strategic position in the Minangkabau community. Its position in traditional institutions is of utmost importance, especially in bridging the interests of the community in the political and governance processes in the nagari. This is deemed feasible as penghulu adat is capable of optimizing their power network and utilizing traditional institutions that they congregate in. In explaining the power network of penghulu, this study used a descriptive type of qualitative approach. Furthermore, this research found various types of formation in penghulu's power network which serves as the basis for their involvement in the political process of the village. Firstly, the establishment of penghulu power networking through personal capabilities recognized by the community in the village. Secondly, the establishment of penghulu power networking through traditional authority. Thirdly, the establishment of penghulu power networking which originates from the additional legitimacy of local governments, particularly for penghulu considered to represent the local government's interests in the village. Fourthly, the establishment of penghulu power networking based on the recognition of their peers by bestowing the title of sangsako in the tribe.

In this modern age, public perception fully supports women in participating in political activities without distinction from men. Unfortunately, this public perception support is not consistent with their political actions in the regional head elections. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. These data come from previous publications of scientists, journalistic reports, official government documents relevant to this research, and other data available online that can strengthen the analysis in this article. We explore why individual perceptions were not aligned with their voting behavior in the simultaneous regional head in 2020. This article finds four reasons why voters' perceptions in West Sumatra are inconsistent with voting behavior, namely the existence of value pluralism, failure of political education, money politics, and the dominance of information that changes voter perceptions

This article wants to explain the obstacles associated with the government's approach using the New-Institutionalism Approach, which emphasizes formal statutory rules in managing village funds. New-Institutionalism approach only focuses on implementing laws and ignores the community's norms, values, and beliefs, which hinder the emergence of innovation and creativity following resources in the village. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive case study methods. This research uses semi- structured interviews with 15 informants with various backgrounds such as Nagari apparatus, Nagari Deliberative Council, religious leaders, and traditional leaders. This article concludes that the Village Fund's rules in Nagari, West Sumatra Province, often change, are ambiguous, and contradict each other, making the Nagari Government challenging to manage the Village Fund. Whereas informal politics carried out by traditional elites in Nagari is an essential dimension in the New-Institutionalism Approach, which is rooted in state regulations and Nagari society. However, there are still many Nagari in West Sumatra that has not taken advantage of existing socio-cultural values that hinder the success of achieving the Village Fund's goals in this area

This study discusses the problems of West Sumatra's local governments in the practice and implementation of Adat Basandi Syarak Syarak Basandi Kitabullah (ABS-SBK) tradition philosophy in the West Sumatra regional medium-term development plan in 2016-2021. The purpose is to organize the program and activities developed in the regional budget. This study analyzes the ABS-SBK tradition philosophy practice in West Sumatra government administration. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method; moreover, the data collection in this study uses semi-structured interviews related to the practice of ABS-SBK tradition philosophy. This study interviewed 14 informants consisting of customary stakeholders, religious leaders, bureaucrats, academics, women (bundokanduang), and community leaders. In determining the informants, this study uses a purposive sampling method conducted in Agam Regency and Limapuluh Kota Regency in West Sumatra Province. This study found that four factors influence the implementation and practice of the ABS-SBK tradition philosophy in the government level: 1) the absence of apparent ABS-SBK tradition philosophy substance values, 2) the traditional transcendental and profane values of the traditional and sharia institution did not work very well in maintaining and preserving Minangkabau traditional values, 3) the absence of individual consensus and commitment toward ABS-SBK philosophy, and 4) the poor and minimum ABS-SBK tradition philosophy implementation at the government level. People interpret and translate this philosophy according to their understanding since no specific guidelines govern their interaction. This fact is understandable and reasonable since it is part of their life. The same goes for the government level, the absence of the guidelines causes a poor and minimum effort in their development program using ABS-SBK tradition philosophy as the basic. It also leads to a consensus between customary and religious institutions. The government finds it challenging to translate this philosophy into their programs and activities development so that they cannot directly refer their programs to this original philosophy from Minangkabau.

An accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date voter list is an absolute prerequisite that must fulfill in carrying out electoral democracy. The existence of a correct voter list will improve the quality of the democratic electoral process by opening the most extensive possible space for citizens to exercise their right to vote. The purpose of this study was to find out the cultural implications of migrating the community in Lubuk Tarok sub-district to voter registration with the Dejure pattern. This research was carried out with qualitative methods through in-depth interviews with various informants equipped with existing documents. The results of this study show that due to the de jure pattern in voter registration has caused a large number of voters registered in the permanent voter list, but the voters are not by the KTP address. It is due to the wander culture in the Lubuk Tarok sub-district. Many of the residents of Lubuk Tarok are wandering out, but their population administration still listed in the Tarok. It is caused by many voting invitations to be returned by KPPS because there were no voters registered in the voter list. Also, this also has implications for the low level of voter participation on election day in the Lubuk Tarok sub-district.

Life in the Pesantren Musthafawiyah Purba Baru is still colored by clientelistic relations, the relationship of interdependence between Tuan Syekh Bakri who acts as a patron and santri as his client. Santri's compliance with Tuan Syekh occurred because there was a Patron-Client relationship between Tuan Syekh and Santri, so that a proper Paternalistic relationship was established. Tuan Sheikh played a pattern of clientelistic relations and also increased participation in choosing santri in order to support the successful implementation of the 2015 Mandailing Natal district election. All the roles played by Tuan Syekh Baksi could increase the participation of santri voters by 71 percent. ; Life in the Pesantren Musthafawiyah Purba Baru is still colored by clientelistic relations, the relationship of interdependence between Tuan Syekh Bakri who acts as a patron and santri as his client.

The Malay penghulu adat have traditional authority that can direct their people to maintain their own identity and existence. In fact, although the function of these Malay penghulu adat is only in the context of customs and culture, but in some cases these penghulu also influence the implementation of local democracy. For example, in the election process of the head of the region, although the function of the penghulu adat leader as a leader can direct the tribe and his people, but this function is rarely used because it is contrary to the principle of propriety in Malay custom. Nevertheless, the presence of this penghulu adat remains important to strengthen the legitimacy of the power of the political elite. This is reasonable because the legitimacy of the Malay customary is very important as a basis for building political support derived from indigenous communities. This article is derived from field research using descriptive qualitative methods. The informants of this research are adat penghulu, members of local elections commissions, bureaucrats, politicians and local academics. This article finds the dimensions of the Malay penghulu adat authority only used to establish Malay identity by strengthening Malay customs and culture. Moreover, the people of Riau are more complex than the social and cultural aspects. Their involvement gives support to the regional head only in order to preserve Malay culture to be accommodated in local government policy and not in the form of political activity. Therefore it is not surprising that every Riau governor is given the title of Datuk Seri Setia Amanah customs so that those who are given this title take part in preserving Riau Malay culture.

In the implementation of regional autonomy, the paradigm of public service should shift from services that are centralized to services that focus more on customer-driven government. But in reality, the practice of public services in many areas is unsatisfactory for the community. The causes of public services still have weaknesses, namely less responsive, less informative, less accessible, less coordinated, bureaucratic, less willing to listen to public complaints, and inefficiency. Another factor is the low motivation for public services. For Padang City, one of the sub-districts that has excellent service is the East Padang sub-district.
