Special Judicial Reform Election in Indonesia

Abstract

—Democracy, and elections are two sides that are interrelated and cannot be separated from one of them. A country is called a democracy if it can hold elections peacefully and sustainably. One of the most important things in holding elections peacefully is the availability of a judicial mechanism for eligible participants who are disputing due to dissatisfaction with the implementation and results of the election. This research is empirical normative research with an emphasis on the normative side. The results obtained are that currently there is no special election court in Indonesia. So the establishment of a special election court as mandated by Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning Elections is important to realize along with the mechanism of authority and institutional structure of the judiciary.
