Abstract

In the context of building an ethical enforcement system for general election organizers in Indonesia, apart from the need to complete and reinforce the material for legislation, it is also important to question the effectiveness of the work of general election organizers.

The emergence of ethical enforcement problems for the organizers of the General Election, especially in Article 458 paragraph (13) and paragraph (14) of Law no. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, which explains that the DKPP's decision is final and binding, this can lead to legal uncertainty and cannot be equated with final and binding decisions from judicial institutions in general because DKPP is an internal election organizer that is authorized by law. The results of this study have theoretical implications, especially concerning the code of ethics in the administration of elections that has developed so far which views that laws and regulations apply as the only absolute recognized standard of truth. This study has practical implications, that state law needs to be adapted to the conditions and situations of this nation, not to the interests of certain parties.

The substances regulated are obligations to the state, obligations to the community, integrity, independence, and professionalism of the General Election Organizer.
