1. Introduction

The Indonesian National Police is one of the roles that the state government plays in the

areas of public safety and security, law enforcement, protection, and community service

(Danendra, 2013) . which is frequently abbreviated as Polri. Its goal is to realize domestic

security, which includes fostering public peace by upholding human rights, law enforcement,

the implementation of protection, protection, and community service, as well as maintaining

democracy." Thus, the standard of a majority rules system expresses that a country's

administration is an administration of individuals, by individuals, and for individuals. 3 The

equal participation of all citizens in determining government policy is a fundamental

democratic principle.

The General Election (Pemilu) is an example of how the democratic principle is put into

practice (Marita, Chairuna, & Effendi, 2022) . A process of putting people's sovereignty into

action to fill positions in a government through direct, public, free, confidential, honest, and fair

elections is known as a general election. 5 One of the characteristics of a democratic

government is the direct and indirect participation of citizens (the people) in political decision-

making during general elections. This democratic embodiment is primarily an effort to

of the domestic political system and the system of government, which included the system of

administering regional government. as well as the system for holding general elections to

encourage the establishment of a more representative government.

The public has become increasingly agitated recently as a result of the election's recent

postponement from its original 2024 date to 2027. According to Article 7 of Article 22,

paragraph 1, the election was postponed in violation of the constitution. The principles of

constitutionalism that must be followed are outlined in the 1945 Republic of Indonesia

Constitution (Jumadi, 2016) .

restrictions. It will have implications for (if there are no restrictions): 1) dictatorship; ( 2)

maltreatment of force; thirdly, anyone can be a dictator.

Apart from that, the postponement of the General Election will lead to a decrease in public

perception of the quality of democracy in Indonesia. Thus, a comprehensive review is required,

and the previous judge's decision needs to be clearly discussed on its material and substance.

A formulation of the problem can be derived from the preceding problems, namely: From

the perspective of the Republic of Indonesia's 1945 Constitution, how to arrange for the

postponement of the election's implementation.

implemented. The talk on deferring the execution of the Overall Political race will prompt a

contention with the constitution. The sovereign's constitutional right to elect the mandate

bearer who will carry out this sovereignty is put on hold for five years if the general election is

postponed. So if forced to postpone the implementation of the election must change the

constitution first. Amending the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia must not only

rely on the formal power of the MPR because the holders of sovereignty are the people as

contained in the constitution. This constitutional change will lead to abuse of power alias abuse

of power from the legislators.

that, the meeting of the National Council to amend the Constitution will be attended by at least

two-thirds of all People's Consultative Assembly members. In addition, the People's

Consultative Assembly and at least fifty percent of its members will need to agree on any

changes to the Constitution(Huda, 2012) .

changing the provisions of Article 22E paragraph (Jimly Asshiddiqie, 2021) , the postponement

of the 2024 elections will have an impact on other articles in the Indonesian state constitution.

The postponement of the 2024 elections will cause the President and Vice President to serve

forced to postpone the implementation of the election must change the constitution first.

Amending the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia must not only rely on the formal

power of the MPR because the holders of sovereignty are the people as contained in the

constitution. This constitutional change will lead to abuse of power alias abuse of power from

which in practice is very full of political interests. This will lead to new political upheavals that

will have implications for the uncertainty of national policy direction during the transition

period. In addition, postponing the election will also betray the constitutional contract between

citizens and the government officials they choose through democratic contestation so that the

abuse of power that is feared by all parties will occur.

This demonstrates the significance of elections to Indonesia's state life. However, it appears

that these ideal conditions do not always operate without any anomalies or phenomena that

undermine the election's idealistic values; from the first election to the most recent, election

norms have always been violated. Therefore, all politicians ought to think rationally and not

of the political elite.

multiple main stages through which elections are conducted, and that there is a high

probability that there will be disagreements or violations at each stage. This possibility could

be brought about by oversight, fraud, or election-winning tactics that don't break the law but

hurt public trust (non-fraudulent misconduct). Therefore, early efforts to prevent fraud,

oversight (mistake), and election-winning strategies that do not violate the law but undermine

public trust (non-fraudulent misconduct) are essential).
