However, restrictions on election campaigns within universities, as stipulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, have sparked constitutional debate, particularly regarding the fulfillment of political rights and academic freedom. Constitutional Court Decision Number 65/PUU-XXI/2023 was issued in response to the judicial review of Article 280 paragraph (2) letter h of the Election Law, which prohibits campaigning in government facilities, including universities. This article aims to analyze the Constitutional Court's legal considerations in this decision and its implications for the role of universities as a means of public political education.
