Abstract

This study examines the legal implications of Constitutional Court Decision Number 55/PHPU.BPU-XXIII/2025 on the Regional Head Election in North Gorontalo Regency in 2024. The decision disqualified a candidate pair due to formal deficiencies in the nomination requirements, specifically the status of a convicted person still under probation, and ordered a Re-vote (PSU). Using a normative legal research method with statutory and constitutional approaches, this study finds: first, The construction of the candidacy document verification process for the North Gorontalo regional head election experienced inconsistencies in norm application. The Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) employed a comparative approach toward jurisprudence to deliver substantial justice. Meanwhile, the General Election Commission (KPU) positioned itself strictly as an executor to uphold the principle of hierarchical compliance among election organizers ; second, the Constitutional Court Decision resulted in the annulment of KPU Decision Number 1081/2024, disqualification of Candidate Pair Number 3, and a re-vote order within 60 days. Although voter turnout declined by 3.35% in the PSU held on April 19, 2025, public trust in the democratic system as a whole remained relatively intact. This study underscores the importance of strengthening administrative verification mechanisms to ensure electoral integrity.

Abstract

This study examines the 2024 North Gorontalo regional election dispute regarding the eligibility of probationary convicts. Legislative ambiguity caused conflicting interpretations between the KPU, Bawaslu, and the Constitutional Court. Constitutional Court Decision No. 55/PHPU.BUP-XXIII/2025 adopted a progressive stance, ruling that candidates serving probation are ineligible and must be disqualified, necessitating a revote. While this decision upholds democratic integrity and electoral justice, it reveals inconsistencies when compared to precedents like the Rusli Habibie case. The findings demonstrate that legal certainty concerning candidacy requirements remains suboptimal, specifically regarding the political rights of those under judicial supervision. This research argues that regulatory harmonization and reinforcing the Constitutional Court’s authority are vital to ensuring regional elections are consistent, fair, and responsive. Such legal reforms protect essential constitutional rights of voters within the current local democratic process today in Indonesia to guarantee governmental integrity based upon the highest prevailing laws of the Indonesian legal nation.
