JAKATA - Chairman of the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR Bob Hasan assessed that the Constitutional Court (MK) carried out a norm game in the Constitutional Court's decision which separates national elections and regional elections.
"I consider this to be called a 'game', the norms are played so that the decision of the Constitutional Court is impressed with the norms of content, not the norms as the task of the Constitutional Court to decide regarding the norms of the law," said Bob as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 9.
He conveyed this when he chaired the general hearing on the preparation of the Draft Law on the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (RUU BPIP) which was also attended by constitutional law expert Jimly Asshiddiqie.
Because, he said, the Constitutional Court in testing a law was not until it entered into the norms that became material content.
"Leverage rather than the Constitutional Court is the norm of such a law, but now, the decision is more about norms that become material content," he said.
He then gave an example of the norms that should have been issued by the Constitutional Court in deciding cases Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024 regarding the simultaneous design of elections.
"So it's like as long as it's not interpreted that the national election is separate from regional elections. Period, that's the norm. There are simultaneous norms," he said.

"But if the regional elections and national elections are separated by two years to two and a half years, this has entered the content that is not the domain of the Constitutional Court," he continued.
Previously on Thursday (26/6), the Constitutional Court decided that the national and regional elections (elections) were separated by a minimum interval of two years or a maximum of two years and six months.
National elections include the election of members of the DPR, DPD, as well as the president and vice president, while regional elections consist of elections for members of the provincial DPRD, district/city DPRD, as well as regional heads and representatives.
