In Law No.7 of 2017 the position of Bawaslu is strengthened by several changes to the rules. Some of these changes include increasing the number of Bawaslu members, expanding the authority of Bawaslu. Considering that 2018 and 2019 are election years and by looking at the history of Indonesian elections that are still a lot of violations, of course the new regulations on Bawaslu contained in Law No.7 of 2017 will affect the performance of Bawaslu in the future which is expected to be better compared to previous rules. The existence of Bawaslu in the process of conducting elections from time to time is increasingly considered important. Therefore, in any changes to the electoral law, changes regarding Bawaslu also occur. The change is nothing but to strengthen the existence of Bawaslu as an election supervisory institution. The strengthening of Bawaslu was seen at the time of the birth of Law No.15 of 2011 replacing Law No.22 of 2007. Important changes regarding the duties and authority of Bawaslu lie in the authority to resolve Election disputes which in Law No. 22 of 2007 was removed and returned to Bawaslu. In Article 259 of Law Number 8 of 2012, it is stipulated that the decision of the Election Supervisory Body in resolving election disputes is final and binding.

Legal certainty and the integrity of the process and results of elections are a sign of the process of holding democratic elections. One form of election law certainty in Indonesia is accommodated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. In addition, in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections it gives authority to the General Election Commission (KPU) to form KPU Regulations so that the process of organizing elections is more democratic. On the other hand, often the emergence of KPU Regulations causes the process of the stages of election management to change so that raises the question whether KPU Regulations guarantee the certainty of election law, especially in the 2019 Concurrent Election. This study uses a normative juridical method with conceptual and statutory approaches. The results of this study are that the KPU Regulations established in the process of holding the 2019 Concurrent Election have largely provided legal certainty, although there are several KPU Regulations that are not in line with the Law above. Basically, the KPU regulations when viewed from the side of benefits and justice provide legal certainty.

Article 24C Paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution confirms that the Constitutional Court (MK) has the authority to adjudicate at the first and last level with a final decision to review the Law against the Constitution. Related to election disputes, the Constitutional Court has the authority to adjudicate dispute cases and the Constitutional Court's decision is final and binding. It is undeniable that this matter becomes a debate, what if in the course of finding new evidence (novum) or what is the possibility of legal remedies in election disputes. This paper will try to explore what is the philosophy of the legal remedies and how it might be used in election disputes. By appealing to philosophical thinking it is hoped that a new thought can be drawn on these possibilities.

Artidjo Alkostar defines political corruption as corruption committed by public officials and the proceeds of crime are channeled for political activities, in other words, crime 'political corruption' is an act committed by public officials who hold political power but political power is used as a tool of crime. Law enforcement efforts against political corruption carried out by state officials have been regulated in the Corruption Criminal Act coupled with the existence of the Corruption Eradication Commission has become a milestone in the effort of Law Enforcement in Corruption Crimes. However, law enforcement efforts for political corruption are not easy because they are also influenced by the dominance of political parties in a number of state institutions, apart from legistalative institutions, the dominance of political parties also to financial institutions, ministries, and executive institutions as implementing policies. which is fierce can undermine law enforcement efforts on political corruption because there are certainly many interventions from political parties in government policy. The Role of Law Enforcement Officials such as the Police, Prosecutors' Office and the Judiciary as well as the Role of Advocates is a positive synergy in addition to the policies of the authorities to limit the role of Political Parties in government policies.

The General Election which was carried out directly was a concrete manifestation of the implementation of democracy in Indonesia. The jargon "of the people by the people and for the people" must be paid at a relatively expensive cost for a clean and correct political contestation to produce the expected leaders. The amount of costs from the implementation side was also followed by the high costs incurred by the candidates for the people's representatives as contestants. Starting from the nomination process through the political vehicle of the bearer to the attempt to seize the prospective voters through various persuasive approaches makes a great potential for the practice of money politics. The causality cycle will have a great opportunity to be reflected in the crime of political corruption. The crime of political corruption is actually not specifically regulated in the legislation but is now becoming familiar. This kind of phenomenon makes the position of criminal act of political corruption worthy of being made a separate offense in a material criminal law regulation. This article is prepared using normative juridical research methods through a statute approach, comparative approach and conceptual approach, which aims to critically examine the legal position of political corruption as part of a reflection of the practice of money politics.

Political corruption is an abuse of authority and position by political elites, both those in the parliament and the executive, as well as the core management. Law enforcement using the Corruption Law is unable to touch Political Parties as legal subjects. For this reason, it is necessary to regulate more explicit campaign funds, because one source of political corruption is the amount of political funds to campaign.

A corporation is a private legal entity that has its own entity and has the discretion in acting on behalf of the corporation. Included in the case of fraud opportunities that occur in elections. Corporations have a loophole to commit criminal acts in the upcoming 2019 elections. The form of corporate criminal liability is regulated by several laws that still apply in Indonesia. Penalties for business entities or corporations can be found in Article 83 paragraph (3) of Law 32/2004 concerning Regional Government, Article 116 paragraph (6) of Law 32/2004, Article 303 paragraph (1) of Law 8/2012 concerning Elections. In that article, it is explicitly stated that every person, group, company, and / or non-governmental business entity that provides election campaign funds exceeds the prescribed limits as referred to in Article 131 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) shall be sentenced to a maximum imprisonment of 2 (two) years and a maximum fine of Rp. 5,000,000,000.00 (five billion rupiah). However, all of these rules must abide by the principle of Lex Posteriori derogate legi priori (the new rule removes the old rules) through Law number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections. This paper examines more deeply how an action can be categorized as an election criminal offense by a corporation and examines examples that have occurred in Indonesia.

This research formulates a reinforcement model based on responsibility towards the authority of the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) in handling money politics. The formulation of this model is important for realizing elections with integrity. Based on the strengthening of Bawaslu through legislative reforms, there is hope for the prevention of money politics in legislative elections, because the body carries out prevention and enforcement with the authority to decide upon disputes in the electoral process and administrative violations, as well as institutionally to exercise such authority, to be strengthened by the strengthening of Election Supervisors at the level of the Election Regency / City becomes Regency / City Bawaslu. By using an understanding of organizational behavior, the reinforcement model based on responsibility will rely on interpersonal relationships, information transfer, and decision making.
