The passage of Citizens United by the Supreme Court in 2010 sparked a renewed debate about campaign spending by large political action committees, or Super PACs. Its ruling said that it is okay for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they want in advertising and other methods to convince people to vote for or against a candidate. This book provides a wide range of opinions on the issue. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.

This is an open access book. Center for Democracy Studies and National Resilience, Universitas Sebelas Maret warmly welcomes you to The 3rd International Conference for Democracy and National Resilience (ICDNR) 2023. This conference was held on September 23rd–24th, 2023. We encourage participants from all over the world to discuss about “Election Integrity: A Framework for Guaranteeing The Democracy Rights and Fairness In The Modern Era”. Notable Keynote and Invited Speakers will share their speeches, participants will present their papers, and we will provide a platform to support new opportunities and future collaboration. Your participation and contribution at ICDNR 2023 will be greatly appreciated! The problems in Southeast Asia that dominate them are related to electoral laws, electoral procedures, district boundaries, voter registration, party/candidate registration, media, political finance, the voting process, vote count, results, and electoral authorities. In addition, the current development of globalization and modernization certainly influences the implementation of elections in a country. As is known, the implementation of technology in this election is a breakthrough that has been implemented in various countries. Based on research and data collection published by International IDEA, trends in the use of technology by the KPU occur in several countries. Of the 106 countries using election technology recorded by International IDEA, 60% of the KPU is for tabulation use, 55% for voter registration, 35% for voter registration biometrics (fingerprints, retinas, etc.), 25% for biometrics in voter verification, 20% for e-voting. With the development of the implementation of elections globally, this is certainly an important matter to be discussed and discussed together. This background will be discussed by all participants in this international conference.
