Jakarta –
Constitutional Judge Ini Nurbaningsih asked about the most appropriate amendment to the electoral system to be implemented in Indonesia. The phenomenon of political adventure jump flea is seen relative to the lack of openness and closed.
“From the results of Ms. Tete’s own study, it has actually been a long journey since we have modified the system, including the most Opens Earlier is no longer pure including those that have been closed there are also some mods that are not pure anymore these are the mods that have been made so far
Research proper, at least, appropriate, at least, to the circumstances of our nation and our election, what is the result of the amendment really? He wondered, which was stated in the minutes of the Constitutional Court session as quoted. detikumTuesday (5/15/2023).
This question was referred to FH UI’s Electoral Law Lecturer, Titi Anggrani. In response to this question, Tete explained at length about elections using a mixed system.
In the practice of global electoral systems, adjustments can also be made by finding ways to reduce the weaknesses of one system and take advantage of one system over another. So, as an example, what is usually done is to choose a mixed system or Mix memberTiti answered.
Titi explained that there are two mixed systems, viz Proportional mix member and parallel. Example Proportional mix member It is in New Zealand and in Germany. Meanwhile, similarities exist in Japan and the Philippines.
“But it is not as simple as consolidating it into one ballot. We also have to divide electoral districts, there are contested seats for electing parties, and there are contested seats for electing candidates,” Titi Anggrani said.
To choose a party, usually used closed list Meanwhile, a plurality system is used to elect candidates.
For example, Proportional mix member Adopted in New Zealand gives two votes to the electorate, that is, one vote to choose a political party or party vote And one vote for the candidate or electorate voteTiti said.
So, the party list for closed votes is the same for everyone. But the matter is different for the constituency. Each constituency has a different candidate.
“So, it’s not just about the ballot papers, but we have to decide the redistribution of seats,” Tete said.
According to Tete, order implementation Proportional mix member As an attempt to meet the two needs, reduce the shortcomings, and take advantage of these, one cannot be rushed. This is because it must also be followed by redistricting.
How many constituencies out of the 580 seats will be contested party list And which of them will be disputed with the plurality. Then how is the method of determining the elected candidate and so on. So these options are possible, but I don’t think I’ve encountered anyone switching from a proportional system to a mixed system at a crucial electoral point. I’ve already tried looking at it Database“Usually everything starts from a post-election assessment,” replied the PhD candidate from FH UI.
as it’s known, judicial review The open proportional electoral system has been sued by:
1. Dimas Bryan Wikaksuno (PDIP Probolinggo Branch)
2. Yuuno Bintade
3 – Fakhrozi (read the 2024 legislation)
4 – Ibn Rahman Jaya (resident in Jagakarsa, South Jakarta)
5 – Rianto (resident in Pekalongan)
6 – Nuno Marigono (from Depok)
The petitioner argued that political parties have the job of recruiting qualified and eligible candidates for the Legislative Council. Therefore, political parties have the power to decide which candidates will sit in the legislature.
The applicant explained that “the mention of the phrase ‘proportional’ in Article 168 Paragraph 2 of the Elections Law has no binding legal force as long as it does not mean a ‘closed proportional system'”.
Closed proportional system has characteristics in the concept of political party supremacy. Political parties are sovereign in determining their cadres to sit in representative institutions through a series of democratically conducted political education and recruitment processes as stipulated in the Political Parties Law.
“Therefore, there is a guarantee for the electorate that the candidates chosen by the political parties are of quality and able to represent the people,” explained the applicant.
