Political rights of citizen are an important aspect of Indonesian Democracy Index (IDI). However, in the 2014 Election, this aspect, particularly IDI of West Java, showed the lowest number. One of the efforts have been made by Election organizers to fulfill the political rights of citizen is to make accessibility as the principle of Election through Election Commission Regulation (PKPU). This study addresses why the aspect of the fulfillment of political rights of citizen is low in IDI; and how the principle of accessibility in to fulfill political rights of citizen is being implemented. The corpus of this study is document of IDI West Java Province and information of online media. The results indicate that; first, the implementation of the fulfillment of the political rights of citizen in the 2014 Election in West Java had a number of obstacles, namely the regulation of the accessibility principle is still limited; the lack of data of persons with disabilities; and the weakness of Election organizers concerning voters with disabilities. And secondly, efforts to implement the principle of accessibility by Election organizers are mostly concentrated in the election period implementation process, while the implementation process of the pre-election and post-election periods tends to be ignored.

The results showed that the political rights of persons with disabilities, including persons with mental disabilities, are a component of human rights that must be fulfilled in a democratic country. The fulfillment of the political rights of persons with disabilities is generally based on Law Number 8 of 2016, namely Article 13 which stipulates that persons with disabilities have the political right to vote and be elected in public office. These rights are important to be respected, protected and fulfilled in order to achieve justice for eliminating political discrimination against persons with disabilities.

The right to vote and be elected is a constitutional right of citizens who are recognized as part of the rights to the same position in law and government. Elections are a very important momentum, in fact, the Election still often raises problems for persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities are a group of persons with disabilities who most need special facilities so that they can choose independently so they can fulfill the principle of elections, namely Direct, General, Free and Confidential and Honest and Fair. So that the political rights of persons with disabilities have not been maximally fulfilled through the provision of accessibility in elections for them. This research is normative legal research. By using several methods of approach, namely: Legislative approach (statute approach), conceptual approach (conceptual approach), case approach (case approach). The results of the study show that the provision of accessibility space, not only on the momentum of giving rights (giving ballots to be tested) to persons with disabilities on voting days and hours in elections but giving accessibility to persons with disabilities in elections was given since the stages of election implementation were echoed. Ideally, Disabled Persons must have access as election organizers as well as election participants. The accessibility of persons with disabilities should not only be given to access rights as voters on the day and time of voting. Keywords:People with Disabilities; Elections; Integrity

The Elections (Elections) in Indonesia is a process of democratization to elect national leaders and people's representatives who are elected directly by the people. The process of organizing the General Election is carried out through the stages stipulated in the Election Commission Regulation. One of the stages that must be passed in the holding of elections is the implementation of campaigns that are part of the political education of the community. In the implementation of an election campaign, election participants can form a campaign team that is responsible for the technical implementation of the campaign. Election administrative violations often occur in the stages of the campaign carried out by election participants which can consequently be detrimental to the election organizers and fellow election participants. Every settlement of election administrative violations can be decided by the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) no later than 7 (seven) working days after the findings and reports are received and registered and then recommended to the KPU for further action. In reality on the ground, there are still many cases of election administrative violations that cannot be resolved due to several obstacles faced, namely the difficulty of finding the reporting party and the limited time in the process of filing reports and findings

Election Commission

General election is a means of democracy that is used to elect people's representatives to sit as legislative members in the MPR, DPR, DPD and DPRD. The election was conducted in accordance with Article 2 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. The 2019 election was also attended by former convicted corruption cases. This is in accordance with PKPU rules Number 20 of 2018. With this decision, an extra-judicial polemic arises which is appropriate and important to be studied more specifically and academically. The formulation of the problem in this research is, How to regulate the political rights of former convicted corruption cases as legislative candidates in the 2019 general election? What are the implications of regulating the political rights of former convicts of corruption as a candidate for legislative members in the 2019 General Elections on Human Rights? The specification of this research is normative juridical research, which is a form of research that aims to describe the applicable laws and regulations, linked to legal theories and practice of positive law enforcement, which will later be linked to the problems examined in this scientific paper. Based on the results of the analysis, answers can be obtained: 1) The Political Rights Regulation of Former Convicted Corruption Crime Cases as Legislative Candidates in the General Election Year contradicts a higher law because based on the mandate of article 4 paragraph (3) Number 20 of 2018 concerning Election Commission Regulations General as well as article 240 paragraph (1) letter (g) of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. Article 28 letter d of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. 2) Implications of regulating the political rights of former convicted corruption cases as candidates for legislative members in the 2019 general election against human rights, revocation of political rights for convicted corruption cases by human rights law activists (HAM) is of the view that deprivation of political rights is a violation of human rights. This is still debatable, because every sentence is basically a violation of human rights, but the violation is allowed, as long as it is based on the law.

Mónica Pachón and Santiago E. Lacouture examine the case of Colombia and show that women’s representation has been low and remains low in most arenas of representation and across national and subnational levels of government. The authors identify institutions and the highly personalized Colombian political context as the primary reasons for this. Despite the fact that Colombia was an electoral democracy through almost all of the twentieth century, it was one of the last countries in the region to grant women political rights. Still, even given women’s small numbers, they do bring women’s issues to the political arena. Pachón and Lacoutre show that women are more likely to sponsor bills on women-focused topics, which may ultimately lead to greater substantive representation of women in Colombia.

Abstract Refugees in Brazil have no political rights. However, problems with family reunification visas in the Brazilian Embassy in Kinshasa was a cause that united Congolese refugees in Brazil. This article analyzes the political articulation of this group in São Paulo. I conducted semi-structured interviews with refugees who act as spokespersons for this movement, and I analysed their strategies of organization, presentation of claims, and political pressure to solve this issue through analysis of documents produced by them and delivered to Brazilian authorities. Even though they had no success, they developed an organizational structure composed by a WhatsApp group for fast communication and periodic meetings in person in the centre of São Paulo. This structure can be used to demand other rights and to continue to pressure the Brazilian government.
