Abstract

This article examines how the Constitutional Court assesses and interprets money politics in dispute cases over regional head election results in Indonesia and what this court settlement means for electoral integrity. It addresses three dispute cases concerning vote-buying allegations in regional elections, corruption of voter choice, violations of constitutionally mandated electoral processes, and examines the effect of money politics on the legitimacy of revoting. As normative legal research, this article analyses how the Court formulates its legal reasoning, applies standards of proof, and evaluates the relationship between electoral violations and final results. It is learnt that the Court has developed a relatively consistent reasoning model. The Court initially determines whether sufficiently convincing facts support a finding of vote buying, examines whether the violation has tainted the purity of voter choice, and subsequently assesses whether the violation has had a significant effect on the election outcome. This article further demonstrates that money politics is no longer viewed merely as an electoral crime, but as a constitutional issue when it undermines democratic legitimacy and distorts the authenticity of electoral results. Unlike earlier studies that mainly discuss money politics in terms of its forms, causes, or general consequences for local democracy, this article frames jurisprudential consistency as the central analytical problem. It offers a more systematic account of how the Court connects proof, voter autonomy, and electoral impact. It argues that clearer more predictable standards are needed to strengthen legal certainty, improve the adjudication of election disputes, and reinforce protections for electoral integrity in Indonesia

Abstract

Perkembangan sistem pembayaran non-tunai di Indonesia menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang signifikan seiring dengan digitalisasi sektor keuangan dan meningkatnya penggunaan uang elektronik serta Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS). Kondisi ini menimbulkan tantangan hukum terhadap keberlakuan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2011 tentang Mata Uang yang menetapkan rupiah sebagai alat pembayaran yang sah dan wajib diterima dalam setiap transaksi di wilayah Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2011 dalam mengatur praktik pembayaran non-tunai serta implikasinya terhadap perlindungan konsumen, dengan studi kasus pada gerai Roti’O di Halte Transjakarta Monas. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, melalui analisis peraturan perundang-undangan, jurnal ilmiah, dan publikasi resmi Bank Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Undang- Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2011 secara normatif masih relevan, namun implementasinya belum sepenuhnya efektif dalam menghadapi praktik cashless society, terutama ketika pelaku usaha menerapkan kebijakan pembayaran non-tunai secara eksklusif. Praktik tersebut berpotensi mengurangi hak konsumen untuk memilih alat pembayaran dan menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan harmonisasi regulasi antara ketentuan mata uang, sistem pembayaran digital, dan perlindungan konsumen guna menciptakan kepastian hukum dan keadilan bagi seluruh pihak.

Abstract

This paper examines the increasing tendency of constitutional judges to function as a “positive legislature,” namely by establishing alternative normative standards rather than merely annulling illegal legislation. The paper used a comparative doctrinal methodology to analyze three jurisdictions: Indonesia's Constitutional Court, Bulgaria's Constitutional Court, and Mexico's Supreme Court. The comparison reveals that Indonesia frequently uses conditional rulings with erga omnes effects to effectively establish replacement norms; Bulgaria often mitigates normative vacuums by reviving previous rules and expansive, teleological constitutional interpretation; and Mexico enhances rights protection through the juicio de amparo and the gradual establishment of progressive, binding precedent. Based on these patterns, the article suggests a Constitutionally Guided Positive Legislature (CGPL) model that directs the creation of judicial norms through (i) structured and open normative intervention, (ii) temporary constitutional norms with clear boundaries, (iii) substantial democratic justification, and (iv) a test for the separation of powers. CGPL is meant to keep judicial lawmaking in check, ensuring it remains fair and responsible while also protecting rights, delivering real justice, and keeping democracy alive.

Abstract

This study analyzes the regulation and formulates an ideal model for implementing plea bargaining in Indonesia’s criminal justice system following the enactment of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code and Law Number 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code. The study is based on the structural inconsistency between substantive criminal law, which has shifted toward a rehabilitative paradigm, and procedural criminal law, which still reflects a retributive approach. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings show that the regulation of plea bargaining under the 2025 Criminal Procedure Code still contains significant normative inconsistencies, particularly regarding sentencing limits, procedural stages, and the legal form of decisions in summary proceedings. In addition, the expansion of legal evidence confirms that a confession cannot be the sole basis for conviction. Therefore, plea bargaining must be reformulated not only as a mechanism for judicial efficiency but also as a legal instrument that ensures due process of law, legal certainty, protection of defendants’ rights, and harmony with restorative justice and alternative sentencing policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Papuan People's Assembly (MPR) is a cultural representation institution established within the framework of Papua's special autonomy to protect the rights of indigenous Papuans and uphold customary, religious, and women's values in regional governance. This study aims to analyze the legal standing of the MRP, the implementation of its authority, and the challenges of strengthening its role in the Papuan government system. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and analytical approach. Legal materials were obtained through a literature review of relevant laws and regulations, scientific literature, and legal documents, then analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation and juridical argumentation. The results of the study indicate that normatively, the MRP has a strategic position as a special institution that functions to provide consideration, approval, and protection for the rights of indigenous Papuans. However, in practice, the implementation of its authority has not been optimal due to its consultative nature, overlapping institutional relations, limited capacity, and the influence of politics and regional expansion policies. This study concludes that strengthening the role of the MRP requires regulatory refinement, increased institutional capacity, strengthened independence, and the establishment of more effective coordination so that the goals of special autonomy in Papua can be realized in a just and democratic manner.
