Authors : Devitasari Ananthia Ayu . Calvin Sinaga Paulus Rudy .

Abstract

This article will provide a comprehensive analysis of the procedural law governing disputes related to general election results before the Constitutional Court, and will also cover two pivotal rulings from the 2024 general election results controversy. The initial decision addressed is decision number 125-01-08-29/PHPU.DPR-DPRD-XXII/2024 which mandated a re-vote in the electoral district of Gorontalo 6 due to multiple parties failing to satisfy the minimum female representation requirement of 30%. The second decision to be addressed pertains to the introduction of the noken system in Papua. A distinctive feature of Indonesia's general election system is the noken system, wherein the votes of a tribe in Papua are dictated by its tribal head. The discourse on noken is intriguing as this system represents a reconfiguration of democratic thought intertwined with customary values transmitted through generations in Papua.
