The purpose of writing this article is to map the similarities and differences in the practice of dispute resolution between regional head elections in Indonesia and Brazil to take good aspects that are suitable for implementation in Indonesia. In the discussion, it also covers the practice of organizing elections, election management organs and institutions, including the practice of dispute resolution for Election / Pilkada in both countries. The research method used is normative legal research using primary legal materials in the form of statutory regulations and court decisions, using a comparative approach, a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Conclusions from the discussion of the research results, the authors propose two institutional options for Pilkada dispute resolution in Indonesia: a) Establishing a special election / election court under the PTUN environment. This Special Judiciary is domiciled in each provincial capital to adjudicate and decide on election result disputes (Election / Pilkada Crime and also examine and adjudicate election / election / election process / administration disputes), or b) Define the authority of the Constitutional Court of Justice to adjudicate disputes over the results of the Pilkada (in addition to PHPU) without any differentiation of regime.

Summary

Introduction

The 1998 reform movement is often identified as a turning point in the democratization life in Indonesia. General elections, according to Article 22E of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, must be interpreted in a limited manner, namely general elections held to elect members of the DPR (People's Representative Council), DPD (Regional Representative Council), President and Vice President, and DPRD (Regional People's Representative Council) and held every five years In this provision, it does not cover the Regional Head Elections, so that the dispute over the Regional Head Elections results is not part of the Constitutional Court's authority to try it. It has the potential to become the object of judicial review in the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, which has the impact of a complicated constitutionality problem that has the potential to cause upheaval in the life of the state and disrupt political, economic, cultural, defense, and national and regional security stability
