The House of Representatives (DPR) has a supervisory function that serves as the basis for its authority to conduct fit and proper tests as a mechanism to assess the capabilities of prospective public officials, including officials from the General Elections Commission (KPU) and the General Elections Supervisory Body (Bawaslu). However, regulations related to fit and proper tests are not regulated in detail, thus creating legal uncertainty. This condition has the potential to affect the independence of independent institutions that should be free and independent from external intervention. This research will raise the issue of the urgency of evaluating the regulations on fit and proper tests for officials from independent institutions by the DPR. The type of research used is normative juridical research with a statutory regulatory approach and a conceptual approach that utilizes secondary data in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of fit and proper tests carried out by the DPR requires evaluation in the form of codification to create clear standards, thereby creating legal certainty and harmonization in its application.
