The involvement of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) in the 2024 general election in Indonesia is the main focus of this research. This research describes the long history of the establishment of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) in Indonesia and its relationship with political contestation throughout Indonesian history. In the 2024 general election, President Joko Widodo conveyed to the public the existence of Intelligence information related to political parties participating in the election. This then shocked the public because it indicated the use of state institutions in practical political activities. This research uses a qualitative methodology with a literature review that relies entirely on secondary data sources in the form of written texts. And using data triangulation techniques as part of the data processing analysis. The research explains that Indonesia’s 2024 elections face three central issues that continue from 2019: identity politics, the impact of socio-political divisions, and political buzzers. These issues are considered threats that could disrupt a conducive situation. The role of the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) is of particular concern, but allegations of BIN’s non-neutrality have led to public distrust. History shows that Indonesian Intelligence and politics have always been closely linked. ## Keywords - Bin - Agency (philosophy) - State (computer science) - Political science - Computer science - Sociology - Social science - Algorithm --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
