This study aims to analyze the Government's rejection of the Draft Law on General Election, which has been stipulated in the 2020-2024 National Legislation Program and its relation to the 2024 General Election. This type of research is a normative study using a political-law approach. The technical analysis used in this study, namely hermeneutic analysis, interpretation analysis, and SWOT analysis. The results show that the Government's rejection of the Draft Law on General Elections that have been stipulated in the 2020-2024 National Legislation Program will increase Jokowi's political power as a cadre of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle and will provide electoral benefits to gain constituent votes in the 2024 Election. This is reinforced by a SWOT analysis related to implementing the presidential threshold in the 2024 General Election, where only the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle can directly carry its cadres to become Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidate Pairs without a coalition of political parties. Meanwhile, eight political parties must form a candidate for the Joint Candidate Pair of Political Parties in the 2024 Election. Furthermore, it is hoped that President Joko Widodo will continue to carry out his role as head of state and not abuse power at the time of appointing a task force, both at the provincial and Regency/City levels. In addition, it is hoped that every political party will continue to carry out the best strategy in promoting Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates without having to lead public opinion regarding the presidential threshold issue in the 2024 General Election.     Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penolakan Pemerintah terhadap Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Penyelenggaraan Pemilihan Umum yang telah ditetapkan dalam Program Legislasi Nasional Rancangan (Prolegnas) 2020-2024, serta keterkaitannya pada Pemilihan Umum 2024. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan politik hukum. Adapun teknis analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu analisis hermeneutik, analisis interpretasi, dan analisis SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penolakan Pemerintah terhadap Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Pemilihan Umum yang telah ditetapkan dalam Prolegnas Rancangan 2020-2024 akan memperbesar kekuasaan politik Jokowi selaku kader Partai PDIP-P, dan akan memberikan manfaat elektoral untuk meraih suara konstituen pada Pemilu 2024. Hal ini diperkuat dengan analisis SWOT terkait implementasi presidential threshold pada Pemilu Tahun 2024, dimana hanya PDIP yang dapat langsung mengusung Kadernya menjadi Pasangan Calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden tanpa koalisi atau gabungan partai Politik. Sedangkan delapan Partai Politik di antaranya harus membentuk usungan Pasangan Calon Gabungan Partai Politik pada Pemilu Tahun 2024. Selanjutnya, diharapkan Presiden Joko Widodo tetap menjalankan peranannya sebagai kepala Negara dan tidak menyalahgunakan kekuasaan pada saat melakukan PLT, baik di tingkatan Provinsi maupun Kabupaten/Kota. Selain itu, diharapkan setiap Partai Politik tetap melakukan strategi terbaik dalam mengusung Calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden tanpa harus menggiring opini publik terkait permasalahan presidential threshold pada Pemilu Tahun 2024.

Understanding why certain candidates get nominated is an important aspect of political scientists. This topic is a narrow one and influences a wider variety of subjects such as the political parties, general elections, and even the extent to which the United States is a democratic country. Presidential nominees matter—they become the foremost spokesperson and the personified image of the party (Miller and Gronbeck 1994), the main selectors of issues and policies for their party’s general election campaign (Petrocik 1996; Tedesco 2001), a major force in defining the ideological direction of a political party (Herrera 1995), and candidates that voters select among in the general election. This volume is devoted to presidential nominations and the 2008 nomination specifically.

A failed general election will result in a re-election and will certainly require additional budget. The purpose of this research is to find out the mechanism for the implementation of the re-election and to analyze the use of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget in the implementation of the re-election. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the mechanism for implementing the re-election is a dispute over the results of the disputed General Election, by presidential candidates and members of the legislative candidates through the Constitutional Court decision. The mechanism for the provision of funds from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget in the implementation of the re-General Election is the submission of additional costs by the General Election Commission to the Budget Institution and the Budget Department to revise the budget for the implementation of General Elections that are undergoing re-election.

Abstract On October 23, 2019, Botswana held its twelfth free and fair election. For the first time in the history of Botswana’s electoral democracy, a former president (Ian Khama) defected from the ruling party and supported the opposition. The opposition coalition, working informally with Khama, mounted a spirited campaign against the well-oiled machine, the incumbent and long-ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). Seabo and Nyenhuis reflect on the 2019 general election, analyze the outcome, and consider the implications for the future of Botswana’s electoral democracy. They argue that barring other factors, the BDP’s resounding victory was mainly a result of Batswana’s rejection of former president Ian Khama.

General Elections

This study raises the legal issue against the enactment of Law No. 7 of 2017 on General Elections in Indonesia. The law has violated the constitutional rights of new political parties of the simultaneous general election participants that began in 2017. The injustice is seen in article 222 which requires the provision of presidential threshold for political parties nominating the president and vice-presidential pairs based on the results of general elections in 2014. If this provision is applied, automatically the new political parties of the simultaneous general election participants in Indonesia do not have the opportunity to nominate a couple of presidents and vice presidents. Based on the Constitution of the 1945 Constitution, the president and vice president are nominated by a political party or a coalition of political parties participating in the general election. Considering the constitution applicable in Indonesia should every political party participating in the general election have equal rights and opportunity in carrying the candidate of president and vice president to be elected by the people in a democracy.

The Voice

As a means of implementing popular sovereignty, general elections have become a sort of agenda for modern state routines within a certain period of time to distribute power. Constitutionally, the implementation of general elections has been regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The Presidential threshold is the concept of proposing presidential and vice presidential candidates. This proposal is carried out by political parties or joint political parties in election elections. Political parties or joint political parties are responsible for the proposed pair of presidents and vice presidents. This paper uses normative juridical research. General elections are the implementation of the principle of popular sovereignty. One of the principles of popular sovereignty is the recognition of the majority of the voice of sovereignty and giving respect to the voice of minorities by providing equal opportunities and benefits to achieve equality and justice. Therefore the implementation of the presidential threshold is not relevant to the principle of popular sovereignty, because it does not give respect to political parties that get a minority vote by providing equal opportunities and benefits to achieve equality and justice.

The rezime was of the opinion that the Indonesian people was not ready yet for carrying out generah election. After aborted Communist coup d’etat at 30 September 1965, new government arised, and they called their government as New Order or Orba in Bahasa Indonesia. The new order remained to adopt democracy in political system which was labelled as Democracy Pancasila, referred to the nation and state philosophy.

Generally, Nigerian political parties in the present republic have been hampered by crisis of internal democracy thus undermining their political leadership recruitment function. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a good example of one of these Nigerian political parties that lacks internal democracy. In fact, PDP was a leviathan. The 2015 Election symbolised a contest between David and Goliath. The electoral outcome is that PDP has transformed from a ruling party to an opposition party. The study, by relying on the theory of relative autonomy of the state and secondary sources, concludes that lack of internal democracy was a necessary condition for PDP’s poor performance in the 2015 General Elections, and thus, there is a relationship between crisis of internal democracy and 2015 electoral outcomes. Also, the article noted that PDP authoritarianism deepened crisis of internal democracy in Nigeria and that this authoritarian character of the former ruling PDP was a reflection of the authoritarian character of the Nigerian state, which is currently shaping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The study is essentially qualitative, historical and inductive.
