This study aims to analyze the necessity of establishing a specialized electoral court with the authority to adjudicate various categories of electoral disputes as stipulated in the election law, namely administrative election violations, electoral process disputes, election result disputes, and electoral criminal offenses. Currently, each category of electoral dispute is handled by different institutions, creating the potential for overlapping jurisdictions that may affect the quality and consistency of judicial decisions. Therefore, the establishment of a specialized electoral court is essential to safeguard the integrity of elections while ensuring legal certainty and justice in the resolution of electoral disputes. This study employs a normative legal research method, which involves examining legal materials collected from various sources, including academic journals, books, legislation, and official websites, to address the research questions formulated in this study. The findings indicate the urgent need for a specialized electoral court, supported by a comprehensive legal framework governing the appointment of judges, institutional design, and procedural law. Such a framework is expected to enable electoral cases to be resolved in a simple, expeditious, and effective manner, thereby strengthening electoral integrity.
