The establishment of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia so called Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD-RI) at least has two objectives. The first is to enhance justice for the people in the region. Secondly, to expanding and increasing the participation of local communities in national life. The process to form this state institution is done by amending the 3rd amendment of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic Indonesia. However, in doing that  amendment there was an internal conflict within the body of DPD-RI involving the old and the new leaders of this institution last year. The length of leadership tenure which was initially made 5 years was amended to became 2.5 years. The different length of leadership tenure was then canceled by the Supreme Court and it was decided to be the same as other institution such as The People’s Consultative Assembly and The House of Representative in that the leadership tenure should be in accordance with the electoral cycle of 5 years. However, although the regulation of DPD-RI has been canceled, the Supreme Court keeps sending its representative to guide the oath of position of the new DPD-RI leadership. The only regulation that has been introduced by the state was regulation toward conflict between state institutions and this conflict can merely be resolved by the Constitutional Court. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the state to seek solution to solve this problem to prevent the same thing happened to other state institution in the future.

AbstractLaw No.10 of 2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors has included criminal provisions in Chapter XXIV, of course very much more complete when compared to the criminal provisions stipulated in the Criminal Code concerning crimes against carrying out obligations and rights which are classified certain acts, but the Criminal Code is deemed no longer relevant due to the increasingly complex problems in terms of the enforcement of criminal elections and post-conflict local elections. The essence of law enforcement itself can be interpreted as an act of implementing certain legal means to impose legal sanctions to ensure compliance with a rule. So that the mandate of Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that "sovereignty is in the hands of the people and carried out according to the Constitution" reflecting democratically the regional head elections as expected.Keywords: Criminal Law Enforcement of Regional Head General Elections, State of Law and DemocracyAbstrakUndang-Undang No.10 Tahun 2016 tentang Pemilihan Gubernur, Bupati dan Walikota telah memasukkan ketentuan pidana dalam Bab XXIV, tentu saja sangat jauh lebih lengkap jika dibandingkan dengan ketentuan pidana yang diatur dalam KUHPidana tentang kejahatan terhadap melakukan kewajiban dan hak kenegaraan yang dimana memiliki klasifikasi perbuatan tertentu, namun KUHPidana dianggap tidak lagi relevan akibat semakin kompleksnya persoalan-persoalan dalam hal penegakan pidana pemilu dan pemilukada. Esensi dari penegakan hukum itu sendiri yang bisa dimaknai sebagai tindakan menerapkan perangkat sarana hukum tertentu untuk memaksakan sanksi hukum agar menjamin pentaatan terhadap suatu aturan. Sehingga    amanat Pasal 1 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 menyatakan bahwa “kedaulatan berada di tangan rakyat dan dilaksanakan menurut Undang-Undang Dasar” yang refleksikan melalui pemilihan umum kepala daerah secara demokratis berjalan sesuai yang diharapkan.Kata Kunci: Penegakan Hukum Pidana Pemilukada, Negara Hukum dan Demokrasi

The phenomenon of a pair-single candidate threatens delays in the implementation of simultaneous Regional Head Elections in some districts until 2017. Although the Commission extends the registration period of candidates to avoid the delay of elections simultaneously, there are still some districts that have a single candidate. The law on elections has not set the provisions definitely regarding what should be done if there is the phenomenon of a single candidate. Finally the parties who feel aggrieved the rights had filed a judicial election law to the Constitutional Court (MK) to find solutions to these issues. In its decision, the Court considered that the Act mandates the election as the executor of the sovereignty of the people to elect regional heads directly and democratically. Thus, the local elections should ensure the realization of the highest power in the hands of the people. In addition, the Court also considers the formulation of norms of Law No. 8 of 2015, which requires the presence of more than one pair of candidates does not provide a solution, which led to the legal vacuum. This can result in absent of holding the elections. Local elections which are only followed by a single pair of candidates, the mechanism selection is to determine whether the “Agree”  or “Disagree” with   the prospective partner. If it turns out the people’s voice is more to select “Agree” then the candidate is designated as regional head and deputy head of the selected district. Conversely, if it turns out the people’s voice is more to select “Disagree” then in such circumstances the election is postponed until the next local elections simultaneously.

Perubahan UUD 1945 yang telah dilakukan MPR membuktikan, bahwa ada benturan kepentingan sehingga menjadikan perubahan konstitusi yang ‘tambal sulam’ dan tidak berorientasi kepentingan jangka panjang, serta jauh dari kata memuaskan karena ‘elitis’ dan kurang partisipatif, maka perubahan konstitusi seharusnya tidak dilakukan oleh satu lembaga saja yang dalam hal ini adalah MPR. Oleh karna itu, penting kirannya melibatkan Mahkamah Konstitusi agar tercipta hasil perubahan UUD NRI 1945 yang partisipatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tentang apa urgensi pelibatan mahkamah konstitusi dalam perubahan Undang Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia  Tahun 1945, dan bagaimana prospektif pelibatan mahkamah konstitusi dalam perubahan undang undang dasar  Negara Republik Indonesia  Tahun 1945. Penelitian ini mengunakan Jenis penelitian normatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Urgensi pelibatan MK dalam perubahan Undang Undang Dasar di dasarkan pada beberapa hal, antara lain: Pertama, terdapat banyak kelemahan dalam amandemen pertama sampai dengan amandemen ke-empat; Kedua, Eksistensi MPR sebagai lembaga politik; ketiga, Pelakasanaan prinsip Checks and Balance System; Keempat, Perwujudan MK sebagai The Guardian Of Consitution. Bahwa Prospektif pelibatan MK dalam perubahan UUD NRI 1945 adalah dengan menekankan pada political good will dari MPR untuk menyusun Mekanisme perubahan UUD NRI 1945 dengan melibatkan MK sebagai lembaga negara yang memberikan Sertfikasi Konstitusi dari hasil kajian perubahan yang dilakukan oleh Komisi konstitusi sebelum mendapatkan persetujuan dari MPR untuk ditetapkan sebagai hasil perubahan UUD 1945 yang baru. hasil dari mekanisme perubahan konstitusi dengan melibatkan MK ini ditujukan untuk menghasilkan perubahan konstitusi yang bersifat the people of the constitution.The amendments of the 1945 Constitution that the MPR has done proves that there is a conflict of interest that makes constitutional changes ‘patchy' and not oriented to a long term interest and far from satisfying because of 'elitist' and less participatory. Thus, the changes to the constitution should not be carried out by one institution only which in this case is the MPR. Therefore, it is important to involve the Constitutional Court in order to create a participatory change in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This study aims to find out about the urgency of involving the Constitutional Court in the amendment of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, and how prospective the Constitutional Court to involve in the amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This study uses a type of normative research and several approaches, namely; law approach (statue approach), comparative approach, and conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the urgency of involving the Constitutional Court in amending the Constitution is based on several things, including: First, the weaknesses in the first amendment to the fourth amendment; Second, the existence of the MPR as a political institution; third, the implementation of the Checks and Balance System principle; Fourth, the realization of the Constitutional Court as the Guardian of Constitution. The prospective involvement of the Constitutional Court in the amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia is to emphasize the political goodwill of the MPR to develop a mechanism for amending the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia by involving the Constitutional Court as a state institution which provides a review of changes made by the constitution before obtaining approval from the MPR to be determined as a result of the amendment to the new 1945 Constitution. The result of the constitutional change mechanism by involving the Constitutional Court was intended to produce constitutional changes that have the character the people of the constitution.
