Abstract

This study analyzes the inconsistency of the Pesawaran Regional General Election Commission (KPUD) in verifying the educational requirements of regent candidates, particularly the validity of high school diplomas, during the 2010–2024 period. Aries Sandi Darma Putra was elected twice through an administrative verification process that relied primarily on document completeness and candidate declarations, as regulated under Law Number 12 of 2008. However, following the 2024 Regional Election, he was disqualified through Constitutional Court Decision Number 20/PHPU.BUP-XXIII/2025 after his Diploma Companion Certificate (SKPI) was found to be legally defective. This occurred despite the provisions of Law Number 10 of 2016 and KPU Regulation Number 8 of 2024, which require factual verification in coordination with educational authorities. The decision triggered public protests, reduced trust in the KPUD, social polarization, and significant financial burdens due to the implementation of a re-vote (PSU). Using a normative-juridical and qualitative descriptive approach, this study examines legislation, court decisions, KPU regulations, and relevant institutional documents. The findings reveal weaknesses in the regulation of diploma verification procedures and highlight the need for standardized, integrated national verification mechanisms to ensure legal certainty, electoral integrity, and the protection of democratic values.
