Issues of fraud, injustice, and dishonesty in validating my electoral data from village to capital levels are increasingly urgent. This phenomenon stems from intense competition and the pursuit of popularity, undermining the integrity of the electoral process. This study examines electoral fraud in the 2019 elections, focusing on data invalidity in Wirokerten, Banguntapan, Bantul, and Yogyakarta. The subjects include village heads, election committee members, potential voters, former 2019 voters, and local communities selected based on gender and specific criteria. This qualitative case study utilised direct interviews and field observations, with data analysis following the Miles and Huberman method: reduction, display, and verification. The findings reveal fraud and ambiguity due to poor communication, lack of supervision, and the absence of Information Technology (IT) in vote counting. Issues such as missing ballot boxes and absentee committee members due to illness were also identified. Approximately 80% of the problems in Yogyakarta were related to electoral disputes. The study proposes a 2024 electoral strategy rooted in Islamic political values, emphasising candidate collaboration, mutual support, and IT utilisation, as implemented by Muhammadiyah during its 48th Congress. This approach aims to ensure elections that are legitimate, transparent, and trustworthy, guided by Islamic principles.
Contribution: This study deepens the understanding of electoral fraud in Banguntapan, Yogyakarta, and offers strategies based on Islamic political values to enhance the legitimacy, trust, and transparency of elections in Indonesia.
