Abstract
The simultaneous elections in 2024 still leave crucial issues regarding women's representation in the regions. In Buleleng Regency, in the 2024 election DPRD member seats, only five women (11.11%) were elected legislative candidates from 45 seats. This study aims to determine the implementation of women's representation in legislative nominations based on Law No. 7 of 2017 in the elections in Buleleng Regency and efforts to realize gender equality for women through elections in Buleleng Regency. This study uses socio-legal research to obtain concrete and relevant data on the still limited participation of women in elections. However, in conditions in society, women's involvement in the 2024 elections is still not fully optimal. The study results show that the implementation of women's representation in the PKPU of 30% has had a minor impact on the final results. From the affirmative action policy, it is only understood as an aspect to fulfil administration, not to strengthen women's rights towards gender responsiveness.
