Abstract
Political parties are political organizations that are important to democratic governance. Every political party determines public policy under its political ideology which is a mechanism carried out to voters. Then, the voters use the information they receive to decide on voting for a political party. At the same time, changes can occur in society that determine the public policies of political parties for future elections. Political parties must have information from analysis, real situations, problem conditions, people’s needs, including various knowledge sets to formulate public policies that can truly solve problems and meet the needs of the people. The policies need to cover social welfare, health, education, environment and energy, transportation, agriculture, labor, and human rights. The policies also have to cover populations of all age groups. This article will be useful to political parties in formulating policies for the next election of members of the House of Representatives.
