Answer:
Given the widespread leakage and mistargeting, it is crucial to investigate the vote-buying effectiveness. This chapter, therefore, begins with discussion of its impacts on both turnout and vote choice. It shows that despite targeting strategies being imperfect and despite the unreliability of brokers, vote buying produces greater turnout. This chapter also shows that while receiving money influences the vote choice of ‘only’ approximately 10% of voters, this 10% matters immensely in Indonesia’s highly competitive election settings. It concludes that candidates find vote buying attractive because it serves as an effective mechanism to produce narrow winning margins. The prisoner’s dilemma types of situation also make such practice inevitable, especially in contexts where vote buying is relatively more efficient than all the other feasible alternatives.

Vote buying is a prevalent social hazard which tampers with the usual notion of democracy. It refers to candidates buying votes off the people in exchange of money. It is capable of overturning the real interest of people on who should be their representative. Candidates winning by vote buying prove themselves dishonest and are likely to be corrupts. Vote buying must be stopped and honest election must be conducted in order to sustain democracy. It is by the people not buy the people.
