KPU Prepares An Election Dispute Settlement Team At The Constitutional Court

The KPU has formed a team to resolve disputes/dispute the results of the general election (PHPU) at the Constitutional Court (MK) for the presidential/vice presidential elections (pilpres) and elections for legislative members (pileg).

This was conveyed by KPU member Mochammad Afifuddin as preparation for the KPU to anticipate the 2024 election dispute in the Constitutional Court.

"Tim dari KPU terdiri atas tim internal di jajaran KPU dari tingkat pusat hingga kabupaten/kota dan tim eksternal, yaitu kuasa hukum (lawyer)," kata pria yang akrab disapa Afif dikutip ANTARA, Rabu, 6 Maret.

Afif emphasized that the KPU made preparations from the start in dealing with PHPU by preparing an internal and external team.

They also compiled internal standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the management of PHPU cases at the Constitutional Court.

"The KPU has also prepared a PHPU handling scheme in the Constitutional Court by conducting a case title against the petition submitted by the applicant," he said.

In addition, the KPU also conducts identification and inventory of legal problems that occur at the district/city and provincial levels, even down to the level of events at the TPS.

It is known that the time period for submitting an application to the Constitutional Court is no later than 3 days after the announcement of the election for vote acquisition by the KPU.

Meanwhile, a similar deadline for legislative elections is 3 x 24 hours from the announcement of the KPU's vote acquisition.
