The implementation of the 2024 Election in Lampung Province is still faced with various administrative violations, such as the inaccuracy of the Permanent Voter List (DPT), the use of voting rights not according to domicile, and indications of vote manipulation. This condition has the potential to hurt the principle of the rule of law, reduce the legitimacy of elections, and weaken public trust in election organizers. This study aims to identify forms of violations of the administration of the 2024 Election in Lampung Province, analyze the mechanism for handling them by the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), and assess the implementation of the principle of the rule of law in the process. This study uses a qualitative method with a normative-empirical approach. The data was obtained through interviews with the KPU and the Metro City Bawaslu as well as a documentation study of Law Number 7 of 2017, PKPU Number 15 of 2024, Perbawaslu Number 9 of 2024, and election supervision reports. The results of the study show that administrative violations still have a significant impact on the legitimacy of elections due to the weak accuracy of voter data, limited human resources, and suboptimal institutional coordination. This study recommends strengthening the capacity of Bawaslu, increasing the transparency and accountability of the KPU, consistent law enforcement, and optimizing information technology in election supervision.
