Based on this, the formulation of the problem discussed is how the dynamics of a single candidate in the regional head election in Badung Regency. The focus of the discussion is the stages of the General Election held by the KPU of Badung Regency in the Badung Regency area. Several research results inspire the discussion of this article. The conclusions that can be formulated include, a single candidate campaign is carried out with several adjustments such as the debate between pairs of candidates being changed to a deepening of the vision and mission to provide political education for the community.
