<![CDATA[This study is driven by the necessity of upholding the ethical guidelines for those organizing elections to maintain the professionalism and integrity of electoral processes, especially regarding Decision of the Election Organizer Honorary Council (DKPP) Number 150-PKE-DKPP/VII/2024 related to suspected ethical breaches by the Chairperson and Members of the Karanganyar Regency General Elections Commission. The goal of this research is to evaluate the considerations made by DKPP in resolving the reported ethical breaches and to investigate the legal effects of this judgment on the Chairperson and Members of the Karanganyar Regency General Elections Commission. This research utilizes normative legal research along with both a statutory and case approach. The legal materials analyzed include primary, secondary, and tertiary resources gathered through library research, which were examined using deductive reasoning. The findings indicate that the DKPP's considerations were founded on an evaluation of the allegations made by the complainant, the responses from the respondents, testimonies from involved parties, and evidence, all assessed according to the principles of integrity, professionalism, independence, and accountability expected of election organizers. DKPP partially upheld the complaint, reinstating the reputations of Daryono, Santosa, Siti Halimatus Sa’diyah, and Andis Yuli Pamungkas, while issuing Devid Wahyuningtyas a Final Stern Warning. This decision is conclusive and obligatory, requiring the General Elections Commission to implement it within a week following its announcement. These legal implications reflect that the enforcement of ethical standards functions not merely as a means of penalties but also as a tool to uphold the dignity, integrity, and accountability of those who manage elections. ]]>
