| dc.description.abstract | The debate on the presidential and regional head nomination threshold is very
important in the election process because it has an impact on the participation of
political parties in democracy. This study compares the considerations of the
Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the presidential and regional head nomination
threshold and examines its legality based on Constitutional Court Decision Number
60/PUU-XXII/2024, 62/PUU-XXII/2024, Article 222 of Law Number 7 of 2017
and Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning the election of Governors, Regents, and
Mayors, along with Constitutional Court Decisions Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024,
62/PUU-XXII/2024, and 101/PUU-XXII/2024. The Constitutional Court Decision
Number 62/PUU-XXII/2024 stated that the threshold was unconstitutional because
it limited the political rights of the people and small parties, so it was directed to
the government and DPR to revise this article to a threshold of 0%. Meanwhile, the
regional head nomination threshold is different because it is related to population
provisions, so a separate evaluation is needed so as not to hinder alternative
candidates. This research uses normative legal methods and aims to provide a basis
for the development of constitutional law science as well as input for strengthening
democracy and expanding political participation in Indonesia through revising the
presidential and regional head nomination threshold. | en_US |
