Abstract:
The Regional Head Candidates use advertisements on TVRI South Kalimantan to influence the public and get votes during the 2018 Regional Election campaign. The research uses a descriptive quantitative research type. Descriptive method aims to describe systematically the facts or characteristics of certain populations factually and accurately. This type of research uses quantitative content analysis. The findings state that effective advertising must contain creative and attached messages. According to our research, we conclude that political advertising in South Kalimantan is less effective. Prospective Regional Heads cannot rely on this type of advertising as the main campaign tool. They have to improvise with other media.
