Abstract

Election violations are increasingly occurring on a massive scale. In Indonesia, by early 2024, 1,032 violations had been handled only for the simultaneous general elections for president, vice president, and members of national and regional legislatures. Meanwhile, the results of handling violations in the 2019 simultaneous elections increased sharply to 21,169 cases, or an increase of 58.3% from 2014. This was due to the material on Indonesia's general election regulations, which overlapped and were not in harmony with the Constitution and judges' decisions. This research aims to analyze the issues surrounding simultaneous general elections in Indonesia and outline alternative progressive policies for achieving democratic governance with dignity and integrity during the next general election. This research focuses on normative law, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches that pertain to democracy, elections, and various types of violations. To get an overview of the new policy, this research compares the handling of election violations in Indonesia with that in Sweden. The research results show violations of the general election administration, the code of ethics for election organizers, election crimes, and other legal violations in Indonesia and Sweden. However, Sweden still maintains its democratic stability. Several election manipulation factors that become fraud or violations are the manipulation of election rules, the manipulation of vote conditioning in the form of money politics, the updating of voter lists, and the conditioning of candidate requirements to cyberattacks. Therefore, it is crucial for regulations, participants, and the voting public to reevaluate the integrity of elections.

Abstract

The political participation of people with disabilities is crucial to achieving an inclusive and equitable democracy. Although Indonesia has recognized the political rights of people with disabilities through various regulations, the implementation of these rights still faces significant structural barriers and systemic discrimination. This research aims to analyze the practice of electoral justice for people with disabilities in Indonesia by learning from the experience of South Africa, which has built a comprehensive and inclusive legal framework and election policy. The research method used is normative juridical, with a qualitative comparative study analyzing legal documents, election policies, and implementation practices in both countries. The research results show that, First, Indonesia has recognized the political rights of people with disabilities through various regulations. However, realizing these rights is still far from optimal due to structural, administrative, and social barriers. Second, South Africa has implemented an effective accessibility policy and involved the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) in advocacy, voter education, and provision of supporting facilities, thus facilitating the full participation of people with disabilities in the political process. Third, more specific legal and policy reforms are needed, as well as increasing the capacity and commitment of election organizing institutions to realize electoral justice that ensures inclusive and meaningful political participation for people with disabilities in Indonesia. This can be done by amending election laws, improving the substance to protect the political rights of people with disabilities, and strengthening institutions such as the General Election Commission and the Election Supervisory Body regarding supervision.
