Creditor voting in bankruptcy compositions raises proportionality concerns because claims up to IDR 10,000,000 receive one formal voting unit, while larger claims obtain additional units based on monetary increments and rounding. This article examines voting rules for unsecured creditors and proposes measures to strengthen preventive legal protection. It employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings distinguish the voting-unit formula under Article 87(3) and Government Regulation No. 10 of 2005 from the special composition threshold under Article 151. Article 151 requires both approval by more than half of eligible unsecured creditors attending the meeting and approval representing at least two-thirds of qualifying claims present. Article 152 permits a second ballot under a separate trigger, while Article 153 preserves the result against subsequent changes in creditor or claim numbers. Thus, Article 151 does not replace the creditor-count requirement with weighted voting units. The proposed improvements include standardized creditor counting, reliable claim verification, and separate reporting of creditor numbers, voting units, and claim values. The monetary threshold under Government Regulation No. 10 of 2005 should be reviewed prospectively without altering the statutory acceptance threshold.
