JAKARTA - The Constitutional Court (MK) ordered the KPU to recalculate ballots at all polling stations in Meureudu and Ulim Districts, Aceh due to problems with election violations for the election of candidates for members of the Pidie Jaya Regency House of Representatives (DPRK) in the Pidie Jaya District 1 in the two sub-districts has not been resolved.
" “ State the results of the votes acquired by the Pidie Jaya DPRK candidate for the Pidie Jaya 1 electoral district in all polling stations in Meureudu District and all polling stations in Ulim District must be recalculated," said Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo reading the verdict at Building I MK, Jakarta, Antara, Friday, June 7.
The recount of the ballot, said the Constitutional Court, must be carried out within 30 days after the verdict is read. The order in question is amar of the Constitutional Court's decision on the dispute over the 2024 Pilleg General Election Results (PHPU) which was requested by the National Mandate Party (PAN).
Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih explained that PAN argued that there was a dispute over votes for members of the Pidie Jaya DPRK in the Pidie Jaya 1 electoral district which affected the acquisition of seats for the membership of the DPRK at the district level.
According to PAN, the dispute over votes occurred due to changes in calculations at the time of recapitulation when it was stated in Form D. The results of the sub-district that occurred in Meureudu, Ulim, and Meurah Dua sub-districts. For this reason, PAN claimed to have reduced votes by 118 votes, while the Aceh Party experienced an additional 2,444 votes.
Regarding the argument, Panwaslih Pidie Jaya Regency has issued a decision stating that there are basically administrative election violations and administrative improvements need to be made in accordance with statutory regulations in Meureudu District and Ulim District.
The Independent Election Commission (KIP) of Pidie Jaya Regency then submitted a request for correction to the decision by issuing the Indonesian Bawaslu Decision which basically canceled the Panwaslih Decision of Pidie Jaya Regency dated March 18, 2024.
However, continued Enny, the Constitutional Court assessed that the cancellation of the Panwaslih decision was based on reasons that were not related to the substance of the problem. The cancellation was only based on time considerations, namely the reason for the insufficient time because it approached the determination of the election results nationally on March 20, 2024.
"This is so that the problem that has been used as the basis for the verdict has not been implemented by the respondent and his staff, so the problem regarding the difference in the vote count results based on Form C. Hasil with Form D.Assil District in Meureudu District and Ulim District has turned out to be unresolved," said Enny.
Meanwhile, related to the argument for the addition of votes from the Aceh Party in Meurah Dua District, after being observed, the Court could not believe the truth of the Aceh Party's vote acquisition figures contained in the evidence submitted by PAN.
Based on these facts and legal considerations, the Court considered the argument for the PAN application to be legally reasonable for part. “ Grant the Petitioner's petition in part, "” said the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court.
