This study discusses (1) the forms of political satire in the implementation of the Old Order general election; (2) The form of political satire in the implementation of the New Order General Election; and (3) The form of political satire in the implementation of the General Election during the Reformation period.

. In addition to presenting types of political satire in elections from the Old Order, New Order and Reform, the results of this study also show similarities and differences regarding the phenomenon of political satire that emerged in the elections from the Old Order, New Order and Reformation eras. This difference can be seen in terms of language use, where political satire during the Old Order tended to be more vulgar than political ridicule during the New Order and Reformation. Then the similarity of the political ridicule of these three eras lies in the use of media as a tool to propagate political messages where newspapers and magazines are more dominant.
