In other words, the stronger the party-id, the lower the tendency of vote buying.

This study used quantitative methods through surveys to 1080 respondents which proportionally spread across all districts in Bali, conducted in May 2018. The study suggests there is a signifiant correlation between party-id and vote buying tendency. Voters with higher party-id are having the higher chances in accepting vote buying.
