JAKARTA - KPU chairman Mochammad Afifuddin proposed that the Election Law and Regional Head Elections be used as one.
This was conveyed by Afifuddin in response to the discourse on revising election rules, especially the Pilkada Law which must coincide with laws related to other elections.
"While there are rules for the Election and Regional Head Election Law, if it can be used as one. That is also a concern for us. Why? Because if that is also done, then there will be another transition later regarding the end of office and so on," said Afifuddin as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, December 20.
Elections are regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017. Meanwhile, regional elections are regulated in Law Number 10 of 2016.
According to him, the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada which was held in the same year with the presidential and legislative elections was very tiring.
Not only that, he admitted that the KPU had not had time to evaluate the holding of the presidential and legislative elections, but had to face the 2024 Pilkada.
"Some people may imagine maybe the time for the legislative election, the presidential election is a bit shifted, like 2 years, for example, that's it. Now that certainly has an impact on the simultaneous research that has been decided by the Constitutional Court," he said.
However, the KPU emphasized that this matter is still proposals, views, and discourse. This still needs to be discussed more deeply, because whatever will be discussed seriously in the DPR must go through an in-depth study first.
"Whatever the sound and point of evaluation we have to come up with a study first. My points are in terms of the organizers," explained Afifuddin.
Afif also said that in the evaluation of the election, it should be stated in a rule and not only a discourse.
"Good engineering does not only stop at the discourse. Put it in the rules. Our discourse on foaming in the rules is not too accommodation will not be realized. Both by participants, both by the organizers," he added.
