STUDI DINAMIKA MEKANISME PILKADA DI INDONESIA DAN PERBANDINGAN MEKANISME PILKADA NEGARA LAINNYA
Abstract
The phrase â€shall be elected democratically†in Article 18 paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia is always interpreted that regional leaders shall be elected directly by the people. According to that, this paper will discuss the provisions interpretation about election system for regional leaders, the dynamic system in the local election for regional leaders (including in special regions) in Indonesia, and comparison with other countries. Through normative juridical research, the constitutional meaning of the phrase can be interpreted both as direct election and election by the Local Council. The local election for regional leaders in other countries basically has been applied in Indonesia. However, based on the protest that occurred related to the election by the Local Council gave us a sign that people prefer direct election. Unlike in Yogyakarta, as a special region in Indonesia, the Yogya’s people prefer to be led by Sultan’s descendant. Thus, in the future, government should understand people’s will before changing the election system for regional leaders to minimize conflicts.
