The presidential threshold legal norm has been repeatedly proposed since 2013, more than 30 (thirty) times, and was only recently granted by the Court. This fact shows how Article 222 of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections contains a legitimacy deficit so that it has been continuously questioned for a long period of time. This study uses normative legal research and uses a statute approach and a case approach. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of the implications of the Constitutional Court's decision on public participation in elections and democracy. The results of the research and discussion obtained are that optimizing political participation to create people-based politics is very possible to be realized by maximizing the potential of the people and empowering these voices to become institutionalized voices in politics
