UPAYA KONSTITUSIONAL DALAM MEMUTUS MATA RANTAI DINASTI POLITIK PADA PEMILUKADA SERENTAK TAHUN 2024

Abstrak

In principle, every citizen has the same status to participate in general elections and regional head elections both to vote and to be elected, however, in order to create good democratic and bureaucratic principles, it is necessary to have legal instruments that regulate this, especially with regard to the many political dynasties. which continues to grow today. Simultaneous elections and local elections in 2024 have the potential to increase the number of Indonesian dynastic politics. In this article there are two legal issues that will be studied, first, the legality of dynastic politics in Indonesian constitutional law, second, related to constitutional efforts to break the chain of dynastic politics in Indonesia. The results of the study show that legally, political dynasties are legal, this is confirmed by the Constitutional Court's decision no. 33/PUU-XIII/2015 which canceled Article 7 letter r of Law no. 8 of 2015 because it is considered contrary to the Constitution. Constitutional efforts that can be made to prevent dynastic politics in several aspects, firstly, the public does not jointly vote for candidates who depart from political dynasties, secondly, political parties do not appoint candidates who have ties to the authorities and thirdly, election organizers (KPU and Bawaslu) to impose strict sanctions if a candidate is found campaigning by taking advantage of his family's position and state facilities.
