Political parties that cannot be separated from corruption, collusion and nepotism greatly undermine public trust in the current democratic system. Womens participation that has been mandated is at least 30 percent, still very lacking. With the Serang Regional Head General Election of Regional Head of Regional Election amounting to 426,159 voters where the number of Beginner Voters amounted to more than 40,000 (Banten News, 11/1/2017), female voters were not less than 20,000.
