Term Expiration Notice: Mastering Transition Readiness & Succession Accountability

The stability of village governance depends on a structured and timely leadership transition. To initiate this process, the Village Consultative Body (BPD) is legally mandated to issue a formal Surat Pemberitahuan Akhir Masa Jabatan (Notification of Term Expiration). This document serves as the primary instrument for Transition Readiness. In accordance with Situbondo Regent Regulation No. 19 of 2019 (as amended by Perbup No. 10 of 2022), this written notice must be delivered exactly six months before the term ends, ensuring Succession Accountability and providing ample time for administrative closure.
This notification acts as the official “starting gun” for the electoral cycle, reminding the incumbent of their final duties and the legal requirements for a transparent exit.

The Mandate for Reporting and Administrative Closure

To uphold Succession Accountability, the BPD notice also serves as a formal directive for the Village Head to prepare their final Official Reports. To achieve full Transition Readiness, the following reports must be finalized and submitted:

• End-of-Term LPPD: The End-of-Term Implementation Report submitted to the Regent via the Sub-district Head (Camat).
• Annual LKPD: The Governance Accountability Statement presented directly to the BPD.
• Final Tenure Summary: A comprehensive report covering the entire duration of the Village Head’s service, ensuring all physical and financial assets are accounted for.

Why Timely Notification is Essential

Providing this notice exactly six months in advance is a strategic safeguard for village development. By prioritizing Transition Readiness, the BPD ensures:

• Legal Compliance: Adhering to the timelines set in Perda No. 9 of 2015 and its amendment Perda No. 2 of 2019.
• Administrative Continuity: Ensuring that the outgoing leader completes all reporting obligations before the [new election cycle](/sk-panitia-pilkades/) begins, preventing “administrative debt” for the successor.
• Public Trust: Demonstrating to the community that the leadership transition is being handled professionally and according to the rule of law.

Conclusion: The Blueprint for a Honorable Exit

In conclusion, the Notification of Term Expiration is the definitive tool for Transition Readiness and Succession Accountability. It transforms the end of a term from a simple departure into a professional transfer of responsibility. By following the strict protocols of the Situbondo regional regulations, the BPD ensures that the village remains stable and productive during the transition phase. Integrity in this notification process is the key to a legacy of good governance.
