Vote Buying in Indonesia The Mechanics of Electoral Bribery2019 •
This book investigates the impact of vote buying on the accountability of democratic institutions and policy representation in newly democratic countries, with a focus on Indonesia. In doing so, the book presents a wide-ranging study of the dynamics of vote buying in Indonesia’s young democracy, exploring the nature, extent, determinants, targeting and effectiveness of this practice. It addresses these central issues in the context of comparative studies of vote buying, arguing that although party loyalists are disproportionately targeted in vote buying efforts, in total numbers —given the relatively small number of party loyalists in Indonesia— vote buying hits more uncommitted voters. It also demonstrates that the effectiveness of vote buying on vote choice is in the 10 percent range, which is sufficient for many candidates to secure a seat and thus explains why they still engage in vote buying despite high levels of leakage.

What effects have political and institutional factors had on the nature of patronage politics in Indonesia? How well do institutional arrangements explain the scope, patterns, determinants, targeting mechanisms, and effectiveness of vote buying as a form of patronage distribution? This book aims to answer these questions posed by the connection shared between these twin issues of change: the changes in the political institutions after the authoritarian regime, especially in the electoral arena, and the changes in the nature and mechanics of vote buying.
What underlying logic explains candidate participation in vote buying, given that clientelist exchange is so difficult to enforce? We address this question through close analysis of campaigns by several dozen candidates in two electoral districts in Java, Indonesia. Analyzing candidates’ targeting and pricing strategies, we show that candidates used personal brokerage structures that drew on social networks to identify voters and deliver payments to them. But these candidates achieved vote totals averaging about one quarter of the number of payments they distributed. Many candidates claimed to be targeting loyalists, suggestive of “turnout buying,” but judged loyalty in personal rather than partisan terms, and extended their vote-buying reach through personal connections mediated by brokers. Candidates were market sensitive, paying prices per vote determined not only by personal resources, but also by constituency size and prices offered by competitors. Accordingly, we argue that a market logic structures Indonesia's system of vote buying.

The Prevalence of Vote Buying in Indonesia: Building an Index2019 •
This chapter offers a systematic answer to fundamental questions about the intensity of money politics in Indonesia. Drawing from a wide range of survey methods, I estimate that the proportion of voters participating in vote buying in the 2014 election was between 25% and 33%. This range is comparatively high by international standards, with Indonesia’s level of vote buying being the third largest in the world. The list-experiment and the straight questions result in consistent estimates of the aggregate levels of vote buying. Finally, I identify inter-regional variation in levels of vote buying in executive elections at the local level. This chapter concludes that vote buying is not only widespread during national elections, but that it has also become a central feature of local executive elections.
Islam and democracy are said to be in a relationship fraught with problems as the former, allegedly, does not allow secular law to be put above divine law or accept the legitimacy of worldly authorities. This relationship is less problematic in Indonesia, a democratic Muslim-majority country, the argument goes, due to the syncretic forms of Islam practiced in the archipelago state that are less dogmatic, and hence more conducive to democratic principles. While this is a valuable point, various factors extraneous to ‘moderate Indonesian Islam,’ such as a fragmented Islamic authority in civil society, a weakly institutionalized party system as well as dynamics triggered by recent institutional reforms all play a role in the continuing insignificance of political Islam in the country.
