<![CDATA[This study analyzes the issue of the presidential threshold (PT) the minimum supportrequirement for presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairs in general elections. Setat either 20 percent of total House of Representatives (DPR) seats or 25 percent of thenational valid vote share from the legislative election, the presidential threshold is oftenlinked to efforts to manage the number of candidate pairs, encourage early party coalitionformation, and strengthen the stability of the presidential government. Constitutionally,however, the PT provision was established as a requirement for serving as President andVice President, rather than as a prerequisite for *nominating* candidates, as stipulated in theElection Law. This research employs a case study approach regarding the presidentialthreshold. The methodology relies on library research, with primary data sourced fromvarious Constitutional Court (MK) rulings on judicial reviews of the PT retrieved from theofcial website (mkri.id) covering the period from 2017 to 2025.]]>
