Dalam perkembangan politik hukum kontemporer, keputusan politik dalam pembentukan regulasi sering dihadapkan pada dua persoalan sekaligus yang saling berhadapan. Konfigurasi politik dalam pembentukan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017, partai politik di parlemen tidak hanya merepresentasikan kepentingan politiknya, tetapi juga dihadapkan pada keharusan mengakomodir putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 14/PUU-XI/2013 sebagai koreksi keputusan politik yang otoriter. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yuridis normatif dengan metode kualitatif, studi ini menitikberatkan pada pemahaman komprehensif yang meliputi interaksi politik dan hukum dalam terciptanya konfigurasi politik hukum pemilu. Hasil studi ini dapat menjelaskan kepatuhan partai politik terhadap hukum dalam menciptakan konfigurasi politik di parlemen, namun di sisi lainnya lemahnya partai politik dalam membangun koalisi dalam mewujudkan sistem pemilu demokratis justru menjadikan keputusan politik yang dipilih menjadi otoriter dalam pelaksana teknisnya. Kehadiran hukum dalam perkembangan konfigurasi politik kontemporer, dapat menjadi paradigma baru dalam terciptanya konfigurasi politik demokratis yang pada akhirnya terbentuknya hukum pemilu yang demokratis.In the development of contemporary political laws, political decisions in regulatory formation are often confronted with two issues at once facing each other. The political configuration in the Law No. 7 year 2017, political parties in parliament not only represent political interests but also face the necessity to accommodate the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 14/ PUU-XI/2013 as a correction of authoritarian political decisions. This research is normative juridical research with qualitative method. The results of this study can explain the compliance of political parties to the law in creating the political configuration in parliament. Yet on the other hand, the weakness of political parties in building coalitions in realizing the democratic election system makes the selected political decision become authoritarian in its technical execution. The presence of law in the development of contemporary political configuration can be a new paradigm in creating democratic political configuration which ultimately the formation of democratic law of elections.

Significance Tunisia will hold legislative and presidential elections on October 6 and November 10, respectively. On June 18, parliament passed an amendment to electoral law barring individuals who use their media or other organisations for campaigning from running for office. Karoui was the frontrunner to win the presidency in a June 12 opinion poll published by Sigma Conseil, but will be prevented from running if the law enters force. He owns Nessma TV, which has been critical of the government, as well as a charitable organisation. This makes the amendment look as though it is targeting individuals who could threaten the major parties’ control of government. Impacts Tunisia may have set a precedent for preventing media personalities or wealthy populists from using their influence to become politicians. The ruling coalition may lose support if it is seen to be manipulating the electoral process to ensure victory. This case highlights the urgency of establishing a constitutional court to protect Tunisia’s democratic transition and consolidation.

Pada hakikatnya judicial review dilaksanakan demi terciptanya keseimbangan hukum dan terpenuhinya hak konstitusional setiap pemangku kepentingan untuk bertindak dan mengajukan permohonan pembatalan suatu undang-undang kepada Mahkamah Konstitusi dengan menyatakan undang-undang tersebut telah bertentangan dengan UUD RI 1945. Pengujian undang-undang terhadap UUD 1945 dilakukan dalam upaya penyempurnaan hukum yang berlandaskan konstitusi. Setiap undang-undang haruslah dilandasi oleh aturan dasar yang tidak hanya tercantum pada konsiderannya saja, melainkan dibuat serta dilaksanakan berlandaskan nilai dan norma konstitusionalitas. judicial review yang selama ini dilakukan oleh banyak pihak pada Mahkamah Konstitusi membuktikan bahwa kualitas produk hukum atau aturan hukum yang selama ini dilahirkan oleh pembuat undang-undang seringkali bertolak belakang dengan keteraturan hukum, sehingga diperlukan langkah hukum preventive demi menjaga integritas lembaga pembentuk undang-undang agar tidak dianggap melahirkan produk hukum yang asal-asalan. Oleh karena itu, di dalam penelitian ini akan mengkaji dan menginisiasi pembentukan produk hukum yang berkualitas konstitusi sehingga Mahkamah Konstitusi sebagai lembaga pengawal konstitusi memberikan kontribusi dengan cita konstitusi dan melahirkan produk hukum dengan kualitas konstitusi. Dalam penelitian ini metode yang yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian ini menggambarkan betapa pentingnya upaya preventive sebelum suatu aturan hukum kemudian ditetapkan, disahkan dan dilaksanakan, dimana ada persoalan konstitusionalitas terhadap implementasi suatu produk hukum yang kemudian oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi dinyatakan bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945.Basically, judicial review has done to create a balance of law and to fulfill the constitutional right for every stakeholder to act and apply for application to constitutional court by stating the rule was contradicted to the constitution of Republic of Indonesia 1945. The application was made as an effort to perfect the law which is based on the constitution. Each rule has to be based on the basic rules, not only on its consideration but also is made and implemented in basic values and norms of contitutionality. Judicial review done by many people on constitutional court has proven that the quality of law product or rules of law made by the legislative often contradict with constitutional order of law, so it is necessary to take a step on preventive legal measurer to keep up the integrity of the rule maker of being judged making unqualified legal products. Therefore, this research reviews and initiates the production of law product so that the Constitutional Court can give preventive contribution on each legal products made, to be able to run with the ideals of the constitution and create legal products with constitution quality. This research used juridical normative method with legal and conceptual approaches. The results of this study illustrate how important preventive efforts before a rule of law are then set, ratified and implemented. In which there is a constitutional issue on the implementation of a legal product, that will be later declared by the Constitutional Court to be contradictory to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesian.

Precarious Situation

In some climes, the electoral law places a limit on the amount political parties and candidates can spend during campaigns. But very often, contestants and their parties flout the law on campaign funds limit especially in evolving democracies where the implementation of the law is weak. And this has prompted stakeholders in the political process to urgently canvass for the tracking of campaign funds by Election Management Bodies (EMBs). In Nigeria, despite the existence of a law which requires political parties to make public their campaign spending and submit same to the Independent National Electoral Commission for scrutiny, there appears to be a zero compliance with the Electoral Act. Political parties' non-compliance with the provisions of the law has placed INEC in a precarious situation as far as the tracking of campaign funds is concerned. It is against this backdrop that this chapter proffers solutions and recommends ways to make the electoral umpire live up to its responsibilities.

The Article considers the issue of ensuring the constitutional principle of equality of litigants before the law and the court during review of the judgement in view of the exceptional circumstances after consideration of the case by the Constitutional Court. Based on the study of legal nature of such consequences of nullity of the law as pro futuro, ex nunc, ex tunc, the risks of violation of the constitutional right of a person to judicial protection shall be established. The aim of the Article is to detect the objective demonstration of the constitutional principle of equality of litigants before the law and the court. The methods of the study: system, dialectical, integrative, interdisciplinary and scientific methods applied to detect the interrelation between the constitutional principle of equality of arms and its practical demonstration in litigation process. The main results of the study. Two components affecting the efficiency of protection of such right have been established: future effect of the judgement of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and impossibility to consider the application in view of exceptional circumstances if before appeal to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine a person’s claim was dismissed in full under the applicable laws and was further declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court. The erroneous legal position of the supreme court in the system of the judiciary of Ukraine was proved in terms of the impossibility of initiating proceeding in exceptional circumstances after delivery of the judgement of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine due to the fact that the person’s claim had previously been dismissed and such a judgement does not provide for its enforcement. This conclusion deprives a person of the right to a final trial at the national level in accordance with the procedure of applying to the court (Articles 8, 24, 55, paragraph 1 Part 2 of Article 129 of the Constitution of Ukraine). It is proposed to develop a special law establishing the grounds and procedure for compensation by the state of moral and financial damages caused by the law recognized as the unconstitutional one.

ABSTRAK Kewenangan Mahkamah Agung terhadap uji materi Peraturan Komisi Pemilihan Umum nomor 20 tahun 2018 yang tertuang dalam putusan nomor 48 P/HUM/2018 telah memberi ruang bagi mantan koruptor (pelaku kejahatan luar biasa) untuk menjadi calon anggota legislatif. Penelitian menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif empiris. Penelitian normatif membahas kaidah, doktrin dan asas hukum yang secara luas terdapat dalam ilmu hukum. Penelitian empiris dilakukan penulis sebagai dukungan terhadap pendekatan undang-undang yang umumnya bersifat normatif. Sehingga penelitian tidak menampilkan hukum dalam bentuk yang statis dan kontekstual, melainkan menyajikan fakta sebenarnya dalam penerapan hukum yang faktual. Data primer diperoleh langsung oleh penulis dari tempat yang menjadi objek penelitian. Sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh penulis dari kajian kepustakaan, bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tersier. Analisis data bersifat deskriptif dengan menerapkan metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa: Pertama, hakim harus keluar dari kekakuan hukum yang cenderung legisme, serta penafsiran gramatikal tanpa memahami rasa keadilan masyarakat luas. Kedua, harus dilakukan perubahan norma dalam undang-undang nomor 24 tahun 2003 tentang Mahkamah Konstitusi, terutama pasal 55 dan perubahan terhadap undang-undang pemilu yang mengatur pembatasan bagi mantan narapidana kejahatan luar biasa seperti: korupsi, narkotika, kekerasan terhadap anak.

Primary data obtained directly by the writer from the place that is the object of research. Whereas the secondary data were obtained by the writer from the literature study, primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Data analysis is descriptive by applying qualitative methods. The results showed that: First, judges must get out of the rigidity of the law that tends to legism, and grammatical interpretation without understanding the sense of justice of the wider community. Second, changes must be made to norms in law number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court, especially article 55 and changes to the electoral law which regulates restrictions on ex-convicts of extraordinary crimes such as: corruption, narcotics, violence against children.
