Abstract:
The various problems in the 2024 general election are enough to be noted as well as references for
improvement for future general elections, of course this is part of active citizen participation as a
form of social control which has been a theory for hundreds of years. The aim of this article is to
find out the problems of law enforcement in the 2024 general election in Indonesia. The method
used in this paper is normative research using secondary data sources with primary legal
materials, general election law and regional elections with qualitative descriptive analysis. This
research looks at two main problems, namely the problem of compliance with judicial decisions and
also the issue of enforcement of the Gakkumdu election criminal law. Of course, issues related to
the compliance of general election organizers can be seen in several decisions such as the Supreme
Court and DKPP regarding the cooling off period for ex-convicts as a condition for legislative
candidacy and the 30 percent requirement for political parties. This non-compliance resulted in
legislative election cases which were resolved by the Constitutional Court. In line with the
Constitutional Court's decision which strengthens the sound of the election law is the requirement
of 30 percent of political parties in the election. This confirms that the constitutionality of the norms
in the election law should be implemented and obeyed by all institutions, especially election
organizers.
