However, the reality of direct elections does not necessarily run according to the rules of election law. Many deviations from direct elections have led to conflicts and electoral disputes both horizontally and vertically.

Results and Discussion
Strengthening the capacity of the Election Supervisory Body of Kuantan Singingi Regency is seen from the capacity and ability of a person, namely the existence of a policy which means that someone who has policy or power can do everything that is realized by action, and can increase work capacity. Therefore, capacity building is an effort to improve one's skills so that Election Supervisory Body employees have more productive skills in order to achieve predetermined goals, Nasution (2011; 1). Thus, research on strengthening the capacity of the Election Supervisory Body of Kuantan Singingi Regency aims to describe capacity building or commonly referred to as capacity strengthening described by experts. According to several experts, capacity building is a capacity building, capacity strengthening, and capacity building. However, there are differences in the meaning of the word building, and broadly what is being discussed is the discussion of the capacity itself. Specifically, capacity is defined as a person's ability to carry out something in order to achieve the expected orientation. This is as described by Grindle in Haryono (2012:39) "capacity building is intended to encompass a variety of strategies that have to do with increasing the efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness of government performance". strategies that can improve the efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness of government performance). In the process and stages of capacity building or capacity building, there are components that can be considered, namely: a. performance capacity, whether tools, money, equipment, consumables etc. are available to do the job. b. Personal capacity, i.e. the individual is knowledgeable, skilled and confident enough to do something right.
c. Workload capacity, whether there are staff with broad enough skills to cope with the workload. d. Supervisory capacity, reporting and monitoring systems in place, clear accountability for physical supervisors to monitor staff under them and effective incentives and sanctions in place.

From the opinions of the experts above, it can be understood that capacity building is a process or activity to improve the ability of a person, group, organization or system in order to create better performance and be responsive to environmental changes so as to achieve goals. There are three things that can be understood from capacity building or capacity strengthening, namely: increasing human resources, strengthening organizations and systems, namely institutional reform. In this case, according to Grindle dal Haryono (2009:39) suggests that a strengthening or development of human resource capacity is "initiatives to develop human resources generally seek the capacity of individuals to carry out their professional and technical responsibilities". The movement to develop human resources in general seeks to increase the capacity of individuals in carrying out their responsibilities professionally and improve their technical abilities.

In various terms of capacity and capacity building of human resources, it can be seen that capacity building is seen through a cycle of capacity development stages consisting of five stages, namely stakeholder involvement, capacity assessment, determining capacity development responses, implementing capacity development responses, and evaluating capacity development. In this case, strengthening the capacity of human resources is also needed by the Election Supervisory Body of Kuantan Singingi Regency, namely with strength and policies, which means that someone who has the policy or power can do everything that is realized by action, can increase work capacity.

With this common perception, there will be limits to the control of actions that can be taken which is a shared commitment among election supervisors.
