Abstract

This study examines the urgency of recognizing the "blank vote" as a legitimate option in regional elections (Pilkada) in Indonesia within the framework of a democratic constitutional state. High abstention rates and the emergence of single-candidate elections in Pilkada indicate a gap between public aspirations and the candidates offered. The blank vote serves as an alternative for dissatisfied voters, allowing them to participate in elections without selecting any candidate. Acknowledging the blank vote can reduce abstention and enhance the quality of democracy by pressuring political parties to better align with public aspirations. Drawing comparisons with practices in other countries, this study proposes reformulating Article 54C(2) of Law No.10 of 2016 to expand the use of the blank vote, including in regions with more than one candidate. This reform aims to strengthen the principles of constitutional democracy, accountability, and inclusivity in Indonesia's regional elections. Keywords: Blank vote, constitutional democracy, Pilkada
