DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF OPEN ELECTION SYSTEMS LIMITED IN THE 2029 ELECTION

Abstract

Dissenting Opinion from Arief Hidayat as a Constitutional Court Judge who proposed implementing a Limited Open Election System in 2029. This was stated during the reading of the decision on case Number 114/PUU-XIX/2022 regarding the judicial review of the Election Law. The bitter experience of a closed and open electoral system in legislative elections is possible to bring about the discourse of implementing a limited open electoral system in the 2029 election. It is felt that the existence of an open and closed electoral system still creates gaps that can tarnish the principle of elections, namely Luber Jurdil (Direct General, Free, Secret, Honest and Fair). including Political Money, Intervention of Party Leaders, the proximity of elected candidates to the public so that the arrogance of political parties becomes. This paper uses normative juridical and descriptive analytical methods. The purpose of this writing is to see the feasibility of implementing the Limited Open Proportional system in the next election system. The results of this paper indicate that the discourse on a limited open electoral system is seen as appropriate if political parties adhere to neutral and impartial principles towards the proximity of legislative candidates, and must also be accompanied by increased active participation of the community in the electoral process so as to create aspirational People's Representatives. The support of the KPU and Bawaslu as Election Organizers and Supervisors has also been part of the success of the Limited Open Proportional system.
