Abstract

Article 345 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 529 and Article 530 of the Election Law prohibits companies from printing ballots beyond the prescribed amount and is obliged to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the ballot papers. The type of criminal in the provision is in the form of basic crime including imprisonment and fine (cumulative). There are incomplete norms in the provision regarding imprisonment and fines given to ballot printing companies. This paper is normative legal research, with a statutory approach, a comparative approach, and a conceptual approach. The result of this study is that the criminal law regulating election ballot printing company companies in the Election Law does not regulate the separation of basic crimes in the form of imprisonment and fines. The formulation of criminal convictions for election ballot printing companies does not pay attention to the regulation of corporate punishment in several statutory provisions including the Corruption Eradication Act, the Environmental Protection and Management Act, the Law on Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering, and Perma No 13 of 2016. Required the reconstruction of the criminal prosecution of companies that print election ballots in the Election Law to ensure legal certainty and the implementation of law enforcement which creates fair and fair elections.
