Abstract
This article presents how researchers who wrote the vote-buying phenomenon gave proposed recommendations or solutions in order to stop it. By considering this phenomenon will damage the political representation system and produce less qualified leaders, it is important to trace this solution map. Relying on secondary data from various literatures, the author tries to trace and map vote-buying out in various places which has been discussed by the academics. The results showed that the causes of the phenomenon can be viewed from the actor's perspective, i.e., candidates, constituents and brokers. Meanwhile, there are at least four solutions found, those are making vote-buying as crime act; socialization and political education on anti-vote buying; the reform of political party institutional which is intended to carry out ideological-based works; and strengthening civil society's bargaining position in electoral politics.
