Konflik dalam pemilu merupakan sebuah keniscayaan berdasarkan sejarah pemilu di Indonesia, perdebatan dari pra pemilu hingga pasca pemilu kerap mewarnai pemilu di Indonesia, konflik antar elite politik telah mengakibatkan konflik di masyarakat umum. Urgensi kesadaran politik elite politik untuk mengutamakan bangsa dan negara ternyata belum mampu terwujud secara maksimal. Kondisi ini mendorong munculnya gerakan alternatif yang memberikan kesadaran akan pentingnya mewujudkan pemilu yang aman. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi literatur untuk mengkaji pandangan-pandangan alternatif berupa gerakan warga untuk menjadi solusi konflik politik saat pemilu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa warga negara merupakan kelompok yang paling berpengaruh terhadap situasi politik pada masa pemilu, keterampilan warga negara dalam menganalisis situasi politik berdampak pada tindakan para elit politik untuk selalu mengedepankan nilai-nilai perdamaian secara umum. pemilu. Semakin banyaknya generasi muda yang terhasut kampanye hitam membuat mereka mudah tergerak oleh elite politik sesuai kemauan politiknya. Atas dasar itu, peningkatan pemahaman warga negara terhadap nilai-nilai demokrasi menjadi aspek yang sangat penting sebagai upaya penyelesaian konflik pada masa pemilu.

 

Conflict in general elections is a necessity based on the history of general elections in Indonesia, debates from pre-election to post-election often color general elections in Indonesia, conflicts between political elites have resulted in conflicts in the general public. The urgency of the political elite's political awareness to prioritize the nation and the state has actually not been able to materialize optimally. This condition encourages the emergence of an alternative movement that provides awareness of the importance of realizing safe general elections. This study uses literature studies to examine alternative views in the form of citizen movements to be a solution to political conflicts during general elections. The results of the study show that citizens are the most influential group over the political situation during the general election period, the skills of citizens in analyzing political situations have an impact on the actions of the political elite to always prioritize the values of peace in general elections. The more young citizens to be instigated by black campaigns make it easy for them to be moved by the political elite according to their political will. On that basis, increasing citizens' understanding of democratic values is a very important aspect as an effort to resolve conflicts during the general election period.
