Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh pandemi Covid-19 terhadap political budget cycle pada tahun politik pilkada yang diikuti oleh petahana serta mengidentifikasi pengaruhnya terhadap kerugian daerah di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa political budget cycle terjadi pada saat menjelang pilkada ditandai dengan proporsi belanja hibah dan bantuan sosial yang mengalami perubahan lebih tinggi dibandingkan tahun selain pilkada.
