Supporting Changes to the Election System for a More Stable Democracy

Overall, the change from an open proportional election system to a closed proportional election system is an effort to improve and enhance the principles of democracy in a constitutional democracy. The opinions of legal experts such as Fritz Edward Siregar and Agus Riewanto support the justification for this change with the aim of overcoming challenges such as money politics, weaknesses of political parties, and the election of candidates that are more focused on figures than political parties themselves. The hearing on the judicial review of the Election Law and the considerations of these experts reflect efforts to create a more effective, transparent and in accordance with the principles of democracy and the constitution election system.
