Abstract
This study investigates the accountability of political parties in managing campaign budgets. Campaign fund data is analysed using direct observation, in-depth interviews, and archives with the case study method. We interviewed 14 people involved in the 2019 elections in Sigi Regency, including two each informant. The study reveals that political parties face challenges in being accountable for their funds, primarily due to their limited knowledge and awareness of campaign finance budget governance. Second, regulatory compliance is low due to the lack of supervision from related institutions, as well as limited regulations and policies governing the use of campaign funds. Finally, there is limited access to public information on the use of campaign funds. Thus, this study provides recommendations to increase the awareness of accountability and transparency of political parties in managing campaign finance budgets. In addition, policymakers can formulate rules that encourage public participation in a more responsible political process.
