<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the urgency of public participation in the development of the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) as a concrete manifestation of the implementation of the principle of openness in the formation of laws and regulations. The principle of openness demands transparency and accessibility for the public to actively participate in every stage of legislation to create responsive and democratic legal products. Using normative legal research methods, the study results indicate that public participation often remains a formality and has not yet reached the stage of meaningful participation. The main obstacles include limited access to information and suboptimal mechanisms for gathering aspirations.

Strengthening this participation is crucial for increasing public legitimacy of the laws enacted in Indonesia.]]>
