there are various problems in the implementation of elections, proving that many things still need to be
addressed in relation to the elections themselves, such as election regulation, skill and mentality of the
organizers, , the ability and readiness of the institutions or supporting institutions, as well as the intelligence
and mentality of voter participants in the election of Regional Head itself. Election problems also occur in the
in the Manado city elections of 2015, namely the issue at the registration stage of Mayor and Deputy Mayor
Candidates. This research aims to find the cause of the occurrence of consistency in determining Mayor and
Deputy Mayor of Manado Year 2015 and get new formula about registration management of candidate of
Region Head. This research uses qualitative research method. focused on registration management of
candidates for Regional Head candidates. The results of this study were obtained from five aspects unearthed
in the research: independence, impartiality, integrity, transparency and professionalism, it was found that there

cause is the weakness of the individual mentality in question. Mental uncertainty to face pressure and
"temptation" results in poor registration in the Manado city elections of 2015. However, the main cause of this
problem is the unprofessional nature of the election organizers themselves. The cause is the first in the
imperfection of the policy made, the second is in the absence of adequate provision for the election practitioners,
the matter of treatment for ex-convicted, and the third is not open (transparency) institutions related to this. it
is still difficult to find the cause of this happening (why transparency is weak), but very strong tendency of
"political power" that affect this process.
