This research is motivated by the organization of the 2024 elections, which have been conducted annually within Indonesia's democratic system since the inception of independence. In practice, the execution of the democratic system via these elections has failed to effectively uphold democratic values within the government of the state and nation.

According to the analysis of the examined concerns, the research findings comprise, The involvement of women's groups in the organizing of all phases of the 2024 general election in the Pangatikan District, Garut Regency, remains suboptimal.
