Abstract
This paper intends to see the pattern of the winning strategy of female village head candidates in the 2018 and 2020 Pemalang Regency simultaneous village elections. The fundamental difference also lies in the conditions of implementation that in 2020 was carried out amid the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the interesting things about the results of the Village Election is the victory of the female village head candidate because the number as a candidate is below 20%. One of the village heads elected in the 2018 simultaneous elections was female and defeated another candidate for village head who was the incumbent. In the 2020 simultaneous elections, the election results showed that there was one candidate for the elected female village head out of the 28 villages that carried out the Village Election. Provisional research results showed that the victory of female village head candidates was supported by a strong political network and economic capital.
