Introduction

The General Election (Election) is a means of people's sovereignty that describes the practice of democracy. In 2020, Indonesia carried out regional head elections in 270 regions, including Medan City, North Sumatra Province. In this context, recapitulation information systems (sirekap) are introduced as information technology-based tools that function to publish the results of vote counting and recapitulation of voting results. Although sirekap has the potential to increase transparency and selection accuracy, its application in the Medan City Election faces a number of challenges, such as the limited human resources, the equipment needed to use the Sirekap mobile application, the application work system that must be improved, as well as internet network problems.

The effectiveness of the organization in supporting public information disclosure through the application of sirekap in the Medan City Election Commission (KPU) is a crucial aspect of ensuring a transparent and accountable election process. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the organization in supporting public information disclosure through the application of sirekap in the Medan City Election Commission. The method used in this study is descriptive with a qualitative data analysis approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews and then analyzed using the theory approach of the Gibson effectiveness model.

Methodology

The study employed a descriptive research design with a qualitative data analysis approach. The data collection was carried out through interviews with key stakeholders involved in the implementation of sirekap in the Medan City Election Commission. The interviews were conducted to gather information on the challenges faced by the organization in supporting public information disclosure through sirekap, as well as the efforts made to overcome these challenges.

The data analysis was conducted using the theory approach of the Gibson effectiveness model. The Gibson effectiveness model is a framework that provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of an organization. The model consists of three main components: the organization's internal environment, the external environment, and the organization's effectiveness.

Results

The results of the study showed that the application of sirekap, although it can increase effectiveness and efficiency in overcoming the weaknesses of manual recapitulation, the socialization of the use of sirekap needs to be done thoroughly. This includes voters, candidate pairs, and political parties so that all parties understand and are able to use this system optimally. The availability of technological devices such as mobile phones, computers, and internet networks is an important aspect to ensure ballot information can be accessed quickly by the public.

The importance of preparing and regulating the right time in the implementation of sirekap for future elections is also in the spotlight. In the current digital era, public information disclosure is the key to increasing public participation and building trust in the election process. By supporting the implementation of sirekap effectively, Medan City KPU can create a more transparent and accountable election environment, thus strengthening democracy at the local level.
