This research aims to analyze and understand the legal politics of regulating the administration of general elections based on the provisions of Article 22E of the 1945 Constitution, and the simultaneous administration of general elections is the legal politics of Article 22E of the 1945 Constitution.
This research uses the Theory of Legislative Formation by Jimly Asshiddiqie & Saldi Isra, the Theory of the Democratic State by Abraham Lincoln, Sidney Hook, Joseph Schumpeter, C. F. Strong, Koentjoro Poerbopranoto, Munir Fuadi & Harris Soch. The method used is normative legal research and doctrinal research that is prescriptive in nature, employing the Statute approach, Conceptual approach, and Case approach, namely Constitutional Court Decisions Number 14/PUU-XI/2013; Constitutional Court Decision Number 20/PUU-XVII/2019; Constitutional Court Decision Number 80/PUU-XX/2022; Constitutional Court Decision Number 87/PUU-XX/2022; Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023; Constitutional Court Decision Number 12/PUU-XXI/2023; Constitutional Court Decision Number 116/PUU-XXI/2023.
The difference from previous research: Wishnu Dewanto, 2017 from the Postgraduate Program of Master of Law at Tama Jagakarsa University Jakarta, which raised the title: "Legal Review of the Implementation of the Pancasila Democracy System Through Direct Elections in Indonesia." The research findings indicate that the legal provisions regarding the implementation of elections in Indonesia serve as a means of exercising people's sovereignty, conducted directly, publicly, freely, secretly, honestly, and fairly. The organizers of the elections adhere to the principles of: independence, honesty, fairness, legal certainty, orderliness, public interest, transparency, proportionality, professionalism, accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness. However, in practice, there are still irregularities that result in appeals to the election judiciary institution, namely the Constitutional Court.
The findings of this research indicate that (1) the government's policy line or legal politics in the administration of elections under Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections has weaknesses in the provisions of Article 471 paragraph (7) stating that decisions of the state administrative court are final and binding and cannot be subject to other legal remedies. This contradicts the 1945 Constitution in Article 28I paragraph (5), which states that to uphold and protect human rights in accordance with the principles of a democratic rule of law, the implementation of human rights is guaranteed, regulated, and enshrined in legislation; (2) the synchronization of elections is not part of the election principles as stipulated in Article 22E paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, which states that general elections are held directly, publicly, freely, secretly, honestly, and fairly every five years, but it is part of the principles and objectives of elections as regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections.
