The implementation of the Noken election system in several areas in Papua Province is still debatable whether this system violates the democracy principle or not. Noken shows the symbol of power and wisdom when the election and induction of traditional (adat) leader that describe their own democracy election system. Noken has been used as an instrument to replace the ballot box since 1971 until the last Indonesia presidential direct election 2019, especially in highland areas, which are difficult to access. This Noken election system has been legally supported by several decisions of Constitutional Court in 2009. By cultivating the theory of recognition, this chapter aims to study the significance of Noken traditional election system as a form government recognition to Papuan even though this system is not applied in all Papua regions. Furthermore, this chapter attempts to analyze the potential of Noken election system as an alternative solution to reduce the Papua prolonged conflict by guaranteeing the political participation of the adat community.

Frasa ” dipilih secara demokratis ” dalam Pasal 18 ayat (4) Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 selalu ditafsirkan bahwa pemilihan kepala daerah harus dilakukan secara langsung oleh rakyat. Untuk memahami tafsiran sesungguhnya, tulisan ini akan membahas mengenai tafsiran ketentuan tersebut terhadap mekanisme pemilihan kepala daerah, disamping itu akan dibahas pula dinamika pemilihan kepala daerah (termasuk di daerah istimewa) di Indonesia dari masa ke masa, dan perbandingan sistem pemilihan kepala daerah di negara lainnya. Melalui penelitian yuridis normatif, diketahui bahwa secara konstitusional makna frasa tersebut dapat diartikan dalam bentuk pemilihan langsung dan pemilihan oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah. Terhadap mekanisme pemilihan kepala daerah di Negara lain pada dasarnya juga pernah diterapkan di Indonesia. Akan tetapi, berdasarkan kisruh yang terjadi beberapa lalu terkait pemilihan kepala daerah di Indonesia melalui pemilihan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah memunculkan isyarat bahwa rakyat lebih puas dengan pemilihan langsung. Sebaliknya di daerah istimewa Yogyakarta, rakyat lebih puas untuk tetap menetapkan turunan Sultan yang menjadi pemimpin mereka. Dengan demikian, alangkah baiknya pemerintah memperhatikan aspirasi rakyat sebelum mengubah mekanisme pemilihan kepala daerah untuk meminimalisir terjadinya kisruh.<p>The phrase ”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.</p>

Since inception, Pakistan is having a federal democracy. Provinces are authorized in the important subjects with regard to public services of the economy including security and law making at Provincial level. The first part of the paper briefly discusses the 18th amendment which was incorporated by the National Assembly of Pakistan on 8th April 2010. The amendment has not only brought major changes in the constitution of 1973 but has redefined the correlation between the two significant tiers of the governments. Central government was entrusted with the domains such as defense, currency and foreign affairs etc. while all the residuary powers were given to the Provinces. The second part of the paper primarily focuses the empowerment of the provinces in terms of financial matters under 7th NFC Award. Pakistan has designed an elegant fiscal arrangement under National Finance Commission (NFC) which has chalked out the procedure for distribution of national revenue between the federal government and the governments of federating units. Along with the comparison of previous six NFC awards this paper briefly discusses the need and importance of the 7th NFC Award. Similarly the challenges faced by the federal and provincial governments are discussed in detail

ABSTRACT Apparently unnoticed by its advocates, a prominent effort to improve the troubled US presidential-election system—the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC)—is on a collision course with another effort at electoral change—“ranked-choice voting” (RCV, known previously by less ambiguous names). The NPVIC is a clever device intended, without constitutional amendment, to elect as president the nationwide popular-vote winner (i.e., the plurality-vote winner) rather than the electoral-vote winner. Election results in 2000, 2016, and 2020 enhanced its support. However, the (constitutional) ability of even one state to replace its plurality voting with another voting system causes the popular-vote total posited for the NPVIC to be undefined, thereby rendering the NPVIC unusable. Maine and Alaska recently switched from plurality voting to RCV for presidential elections. Consequently, tangled results and turmoil could occur with the NPVIC. To improve presidential elections, replacing plurality voting with other systems appears to be more sensible than pursuing the NPVIC.
