<![CDATA[The rapid development of information technology has necessitated reforms in Indonesia's criminal procedural law to accommodate advances in digital technology. This study aims to analyze the legal status of electronic evidence as admissible evidence under Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Indonesian Code of Criminal Procedure and to examine its implications for the criminal evidentiary system. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches through the analysis of legislation, legal doctrines, and relevant literature. The findings indicate that electronic evidence has been formally recognized as an independent form of admissible evidence within Indonesia's criminal justice system.
