The simultaneous regional head elections have a very close correlation with the implementation of people's sovereignty. This is in accordance with the mandate of Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Amendment, explaining that "Sovereignty is in the hands of the people and is carried out according to the Constitution. Along with the amendments to the 1945 Constitution, theoretically changing the constitution of a country can be seen as part of the process of perfecting the state administration due to changes in the political system of law and democracy in the regime of power during a certain period. The amendments to the 1945 Constitution, both the first, second, third and fourth changes, and there is even the possibility of a fifth change later, are expected to be able to create and oversee a political transition of power that is authoritarianism towards constitutional democracy as an effort to realize good and democratic governance, at the national and regional levels. The implementation of direct regional head elections has been implemented since June 1, 2005 as a manifestation of the desire to strengthen the democratic system in the regions, which is implemented based on Law 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government. Therefore, in the historical development of modern countries, elections are considered as a milestone in the establishment of a democratic system.
