The results of the study showed: 1) The screening carried out by the Panwaslu of the Welcome District for Prospective TPS Supervisors in the Welcome District, in this case, is related to the completeness of administrative files, such as Application Forms, Statement Letters, e-KTP, K.K., Diplomas, and other supporting documents. The screening of TPS Supervisory Candidates is more about the material aspect, where the Recruitment Committee examines the files of TPS Supervisory Candidates in the TWelcome District in more depth. Most of the deaths of polling station supervisory candidates in the TWelcome sub-district are due to ties with fellow election organizers, such as their husbands/wives also being KPPS, being involved as members of political parties, the team of one of the candidates, and the e-KTP concerned has been recorded as supporting independent candidates. In the process of selecting TPS Supervisory Candidates in TWelcome District who will later be assigned as TPS Supervisors at 122 polling stations spread across Sambutan District, some of the essential assessment indicators are experience in elections, understanding of election regulations, and being able to apply for the Siwaslu program. Supporting Factors in the Recruitment of Polling Place Supervisors (PTPS) in the 2020 Samarinda Mayor and Deputy Mayor Elections, namely 1) High public interest and interest to be involved in elections, primarily registering to become a Polling Station Supervisor in Welcome District and 2) The growing use of electronic media facilitates information related to Polling Station Supervisor Recruitment in Sambutan District. The Inhibiting Factors in the Recruitment of Polling Station Supervisors (PTPS) in the 2020 Samarinda Mayor and Deputy Mayor Elections, namely 1) The situation and conditions of Covid-19 make people reluctant to do activities in crowded places, 2) Most people who have an interest in becoming polling station supervisors must be aborted because the e-KTP concerned has been recorded as an independent person supporter,  3) Most people who have an interest in becoming polling station supervisors must be dropped because they do not meet the qualifications in terms of age and education level, and 4) The Welcome District Panwaslu must compete with the Welcome District Election Committee (PPK) and Candidate Pairs, because at the same time, the KDP recruits the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS), even numbering 7 (seven) people per polling station,  plus the Prospective Spouse who recruits his Witnesses.
