PERUBAHAN SISTEM PEMILIHAN KEPALA DAERAH: Implikasi terhadap Calon Perseorangan dalam Perspektif Hak Asasi Manusia
Abstract
Local elections for regional leaders (Pilkada) in Indonesia has experiences quite diverse changes from direct Pilkada, Pilkada through representative mechanism i.e. chosen by The Regional Representatives Council, and back to utilising direct Pilkada. This changes have raised question on how Pilkada’s changes and implications in general, and especially to individual candidates if it is seen through human rights perspective. Using regulatory and analytical approach, it can be concluded that the provisions concerning the minimum requirements of the amount of support for individual candidate has never changed. Reference percentage difference between the amount of support for individual candidate and candidate from political party provide more gaps burdening the individual candidate. One of philosophical foundation of the existence of individual candidate in the election is to fulfill human rights, especially the rights of citizens to participate in government. Existing gap indicates the legislators have not completely fulfill the rights of its citizens by providing equal opportunities to participate in government. Therefore, legislators should review this provision, in particular the reference percentage of the minimum amount of support for regional leaders candidates.
