Artikel ini menyarankan perlunya evaluasi terhadap peraturan rekrutmen agen Ad-hoc. seperti pola rekrutmen; biaya pendaftaran yang tinggi untuk menjadi anggota Ad-hoc; pembatasan masa jabatan sebagai penyelenggara di tingkat Ad-hoc menjadi penyebab tidak efektifnya rekrutmen. Diperlukan kebijakan untuk memfasilitasi pendaftaran anggota Ad-hoc dan evaluasi anggaran untuk fasilitas pemeriksaan kesehatan yang tidak tepat sasaran; dan pembatasan jangka waktu bukanlah solusi dalam mencegah pelanggaran pemilu, karena akan mengurangi kesempatan orang yang berkompeten dan berintegritas untuk berpartisipasi sebagai penyelenggara pemilu.Kata kunci: Badan Ad-hoc, Evaluasi, Pemilihan, Rekrutmen
