Abstract

Indonesia's post reform electoral system was designed to strengthen popular representation but has paradoxically become an arena for elite interest contestation. This study critically analyzes the ambivalence of legal politics regarding the open proportional system and electoral thresholds, focusing on Constitutional Court Decision No. 55/PUU-XXII/2024. Employing doctrinal legal research with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, the analysis examines Law Number 7 of 2017 and the Court's jurisprudence. The findings reveal a structural paradox: the system normatively recognizes popular sovereignty but practically restricts political competition through high thresholds that benefit political cartels and incentivize high cost politics. Furthermore, the Constitutional Court’s open legal policy doctrine frequently metamorphoses into a shield for the legislative oligarchy, evading substantive constitutional correction. Ultimately, this article proposes a comprehensive reconstruction of electoral legal politics, shifting the paradigm from democratic containment to electoral justice. This reconstruction demands normative threshold reforms, structural political funding improvements, and the application of strict scrutiny by the Constitutional Court to safeguard citizens' rights against oligarchic capture, ensuring genuine constitutional democracy and equitable political participation.

Abstract

This research aims to answer questions regarding how legal politics orientation underlies changes in Indonesia's electoral system, how the character of legal politics ambivalence in elections is identified, and how the Constitutional Court's role shapes the consistency of electoral legal policy direction following judicial review decisions. This research employs doctrinal legal research methods with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, through analysis of the 1945 Constitution, Law Number 7 of 2017, and Constitutional Court decisions related to the electoral system. The results show that Indonesia's electoral legal politics orientation is dualistic between strengthening democracy and power stabilization interests, reflected in the consistent increase of the parliamentary threshold from 2 percent to 4 percent. This ambivalence is evident in representation disproportionality due to wasted votes, gaps in women's representation, and weak enforcement of affirmative policies. The Constitutional Court has proven to play an evolutive role, shifting from being defensive toward open legal policy to more actively conducting substantive corrections, as demonstrated by Decision Number 62/PUU-XXII/2024 which abolished the presidential threshold. These findings affirm the need to reorient electoral legal politics toward strengthening substantive democracy and more inclusive political representation in Indonesia.
