Abstract:
The history of general elections in Indonesia was not born from the womb of the 1945 Constitution, but from the
Provisional Constitution, which at that time used a parliamentary system. Due to the needs of the state which
was exemplified during the validity period of the UUDS at that time, after Indonesia's return to the 1945
Constitution, through a long journey of reform in 1998, then the 1945 Constitution began to be amended one by
one. This study aims to determine elections with integrity within the framework of the constitution. This study
uses normative juridical research based on secondary legal materials, namely from laws and literature, which
are then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of this study explain that general elections have
integrity when the Indonesian constitution was amended in 2001, namely the third amendment, by bringing to
life Chapter VIIB which specifically deals with general elections. The constitution really revives its dignity as the
highest legal value in the state, which consists of values; direct, public, free, confidential, honest and fair.
