The theory used in this research is supervisory theory, effectiveness theory, authority theory and rule of law theory. The General Elections Supervisory Body is still less effective in resolving the handling of violations in the general election because there are still many violations that still occur during the general election and the sanctions given have no clear firmness and have not created a deterrent effect for those who commit violations
