Abstract

The General Election serves as the primary means for citizens to carry out their sovereignty within Indonesias democratic framework. The Constitutional Court Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024 introduced a major transformation by separating the National Election from the Regional Election, which had previously been conducted simultaneously. This separation aims to improve the quality of democracy and enhance electoral efficiency but simultaneously presents new challenges, notably the potential vacancy of Regional Representatives (DPRD) and regional heads during the 2029–2031 transition period due to differing electoral cycles. This study employs a normative juridical method with legislative and conceptual approaches to analyze the legal implications of the Court’s decision and to propose a constitutional solution through the concept of an Interim Election. The findings indicate that the Interim Election offers a legitimate and democratic mechanism to preserve the authority of representative institutions without extending their terms unconstitutionally. It applies only to DPRD members at the provincial and local levels, while regional head vacancies may be filled by acting officials in accordance with existing regulations. Therefore, the Interim Election provides a constitutional pathway to maintain governmental continuity, uphold the principle of periodic power limitation, and reinforce popular sovereignty in the aftermath of Constitutional Court Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024.

Abstract

Judicial oversight is a crucial element in maintaining the integrity and accountability of the judiciary in a state based on the rule of law. In Indonesia, this oversight function is carried out by two institutions namely Komisi Yudisial and Badan Pengawas Mahkamah Agung. However, their authority often overlaps, which not only gives rise to jurisdictional conflicts but also leads to institutional inefficiency and legal uncertainty. This study aims to analyze the authority of each institution based on laws and institutional practices, and to evaluate its impact on the effectiveness of the judicial oversight system. Using a normative and descriptive-analytical approach, this study finds that the unclear division of authority between Komisi Yudisial and Badan Pengawas Mahkamah Agung has hampered the oversight function, created waste of resources, and weakened public trust in the judiciary. This study recommends the need for inter-institutional harmonization of regulations or even restructuring of the judicial oversight institution to create a more efficient, integrated system that ensures legal certainty without sacrificing judicial independence.
