The governor election is expected to be able to raise the level ofoptimism in order to improve the leadership qualities of local government, and the spirit of political education for citizen. This study applied descriptive qualitative method by using interviews and documentations as research instruments. Based on the documentation instrument, it showed the statistics of permanent voters who voted in the 2015 for governor election was 59.58% or 3,489,743 permanent voters. It was implied that 40.42% or 1,410,680 voters did not take their votes. This low level of public participation could be a sign that democracy has not effectively been implemented at the local level.

Implementation Stage

We continue to pursue various breakthroughs through affirmative policies and strengthening the role of women in politics. One of these efforts can be seen through the application of the Election Law which requires the involvement of women at least 30 percent as legislative candidates for political parties. This policy is explicitly translated by the General Election Commission (KPU) in KPU regulation Number 7/2013 which states that political parties that cannot meet these requirements cannot qualify as election participants. However, at the implementation stage the level of women's participation in politics is still low. Political parties have not been able to produce reliable female cadres. The basic assumption behind this is that political education for women in Indonesia is not sufficient to open political awareness. The method used in this service is community empowerment through political education for women's groups / organizations / communities in Pijoan Village. The function of political education is not only the role of Political Parties but also transfers to all levels of society, especially the educational environment and academics. Therefore, this service is expected to be able to increase public awareness, especially women, to actively participate in the upcoming regional head elections for Jambi province. Based on the results of the survey carried out after the service, the participants received motivation to be more active in various activities such as organizations and in government and political activities.

Party system is the important factor in the working of representative form of Government.  India is a democratic state. In the democratic state, political parties are said to be the life – blood of democracies. Modern democracies are indirect in character. They can function with the help of political parties. In the absence of political parties democracy cannot deliver the goods. Well organized political parties constitute the best form of democracy. India has the largest democracy in the world. It introduced universal adult franchise as the basis of voting right in the country. Now the voting age has been lowered down to 18. Most of the Indian voters are not politically matured and they do not have the political education in the proper sense. Political parties in India are classified by the Election Commission of India.

The study examined the role of political education and Information Communication Technology (ICT) for sustainable democracy in Nigeria. The paper conceptualized political education and IC T for sustainable democracy. The paper adopted observation and secondary methods of data gathering. The paper argued that electoral violence and fraud that marred conducted elections in Nigeria was  due to decades of military rule that militarized the psyche of most Nigerians, and lack of continuous political education to redirect the militarized mentality they do display in electoral process, to democratized mentality to sustain democracy in Nigeria. This is because the anti-democratic mentality of most Nigerians has created loopholes for politicians to manipulate the electoral process which portents a threat to democracy in Nigeria. The paper revealed that continuous political education through the use of ICT tools like social network sites will create political awareness that will enlighten Nigerians to deter them from electoral violence and fraud, and other related anti-democratic behaviour to bring about sustainable democracy in Nigeria. Therefore, the paper recommends among others, that the Nigerian government should liaise with advanced countries that have successfully built ICT in their democratic governance, to see areas where they can collaborate to ensure stable use of ICT facilities in Nigeria.
