Pemilihan Kepala Daerah di Indonesia yang akan diselenggarakan pada 9 Desember 2020 mengalami polemik dengan adanya Physical Distancing ditengah Pandemi COVID-19. Sehingga perlu adanya pelaksanaan E-Voting dalam Pemilihan Kepala Daerah sebagai solusi ditengah Pandemi ini. Penerapan sistem E-Voting bukanlah hal yang asing lagi karena penerapannya sudah dilakukan dalam pemilihan kepala desa. Penggunaan sistem E-Voting juga telah dilakukan oleh beberapa negara di dunia seperti Australia dan Brazil. Penggunaan sistem E-Voting di Australia dan Brazil mendapatkan respon positif dalam masyarakat, namun juga terdapat kekurangan dalam pelaksanaannya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perbandingan menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan, dengan adanya sistem E-Voting dalam Pemilihan Kepala Daerah mampu meningkatkan nilai demokrasi di Indonesia terkhusus peningkatan partisipasi publik dan memberikan keefektivan serta keefesienan dalam proses pemilihan berlangsung. Namun, penerapan sistem E-Voting masih terkendala dengan kehadiran hacker yang mampu membobol sistem serta kesiapan daerah dalam penggunaan E-Voting.
