Abstract

The transfer of authority to resolve disputes over the results of the Regional Elections from the Supreme Court to the Constitutional Court through the Constitutional Court Decision Number 85/PUU-XX/2022, which is considered not in line with the provisions of Article 22E and Article 18 paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution. By using normative legal research methods through laws and regulations and conceptual approaches, this study found inconsistencies in the interpretation of the constitution by the Constitutional Court. This progressive interpretation expands the meaning of the election regime beyond the original intent of the constitution, thus creating a potential legal vacuum and abuse of authority. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a more consistent interpretation and in accordance with the principles of constitutionalism to maintain legal certainty in resolving Pilkada disputes.
