DINAMIKA HUKUM PEMILIHAN KEPALA DAERAH MENUJU PROSES DEMOKRASI DALAM OTONOMI DAERAH
Abstract
Dynamic of law on local election for regional leaders began in the ’Orde Baru’ era with the model of representative democracy (parliament) which was implemented by Law No. 5 of 1974. In the ’Orde Baru’ era, Regional government is more centralized, so that the democracy did not thrive. In the Reform Era, the electoral system for regional leaders and vice of regional leaders changed to direct election according to Law No. 22 of 1999 as the beginning of the Regional Autonomy System widely implemented, and continued with the Law No. 32 of 2004 so the Regional Autonomy System become decentralized and that democracy began to flourish despite there are still a lot of conflicts in some areas refering to the implementation of the local election for regional leaders. Now there is Law No. 23 of 2014 which said that Regional Leaders are elected directly but not as a single package with vice of regional leaders whom they will be chosen by the Regional Leaders itself. Using a normative juridical approach the writer would like to elaborate the dynamic process in the electoral system of regional leaders before and after the implementation of Law No.32 of 2004 and why there are some conflicts. It can be said that the direct local election of regional leaders is an entry point for democracy politics in regions and it also gives people a chance to vote their own leader. The improvement in the conduct of local election for regional leaders and the approach in social, cultural politics and legal culture are needed in order to reduce conflicts in some areas.
