Abstract

As a manifestation of a celebration of procedural democracy, Bali Provincial General Election (Bali elections) was sufficiently characterized the phenomenon of de-ideologization and hybridization partner of governor and deputy candidates. Various problems still appeared due to the democratic deficit and less fulfillment of the rights of civil society. But, although there is no guarantee that through the election-style democracy that everything will be better, but as the view of Churchill, democracy is still considered to be one public virtue, because there is no other better alternative. At least there is a hope that with the election of Bali that first held in person will be able to further strengthen local democratic legitimacy.
