Phenomenology of General Election Dispute Resolution in Indonesia

Erwin Aditya Pratama

Abstract


Elections are a means for the people to participate in determining the direction of government administration. The basic principle of democratic state life is that every citizen has the right to actively participate in the political process. The purpose of the research is to examine the phenomenology of resolving general election disputes resolved through the judicial process both in the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, to assess the effectiveness of the two judicial institutions in resolving legal issues related to General Elections in Indonesia. The type of research used is literature research, the research approach uses normative juridical, the data source is secondary data that is analyzed qualitatively. The results of the research show that as well as the system of organizing general elections is designed in it, there is always a possibility of violations, for that there is always a reliable institutional mechanism to resolve various types of objections and disputes. The settlement of general election disputes in Indonesia can be resolved by the Election Supervisory Agency, the Judiciary under the auspices of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court. General election disputes that are resolved through judicial institutions under the Supreme Court resolve disputes related to administration and criminal in the implementation of General Elections. Meanwhile, disputes over the results of the general election are within the scope of the Constitutional Court's authority. The appeal decision issued by the Constitutional Court against the dispute over the election results is the final and binding decision and there is no other legal remedy, if it is considered that the two judicial institutions are effective institutions in resolving legal issues related to the General Election in Indonesia.
