Local Governments' Performance in Sumatra are still vary, some has a good performance, and other is poor. According to the agency theory, the Ssupervisory Board (Legislative-DPRD) has an important role in improving the performance of local governments by overseeing the executive's behaviour. However, previous research in this area is still limited, especially among local governmentin in Sumatra Island. The research purpose is to investigate the effect of legislative characteristics on the performance of local governments. By using the 81 local governments (53% of the total population) and secondary data, we applied the multiple regression analysis is to analyses the data. The funding shows that there is no role of Supervisory Board (Legislative) to determine the performance of local government. However, one of control variable has a positive significantly relationship with performance, namely the operational revenue growth. The result have a theoretical and practical contribution.
