Dream - The Constitutional Court (MK) rejected the request for a material test of Article in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. MK decides that elections will still use the open proportional system or vote for legislative members.

The Constitutional Court read out the decision of case number 114/PUU-XX/2022 regarding the material test of the open proportional election system on Thursday, June 15, 2023.

"Reject the request of the applicants in its entirety," said MK Chairman Anwar Usman when reading the decision in the trial.

The Constitutional Court considers that the arguments of the applicants are not legally justified in their entirety.

"The main request of the applicants is not legally justified in its entirety," said Anwar.

In this Constitutional Court decision, there is a dissenting opinion from the constitutional judges.

Case 114/PUU-XX/2022 was filed by Demas Brian Wicaksono, Yuwono Pintadi, Fahrurrozi, Ibnu Rachman Jaya, Riyanto, and Nono Marijono. The applicants wanted a closed proportional election system or vote for parties to be implemented in the 2024 Elections.

Previously, eight factions in the Indonesian Parliament rejected the implementation of a closed proportional election system and wanted the open proportional system to continue to be used in the 2024 Elections.

Among those who rejected the closed system were Golkar, Gerindra, PKB, NasDem, Democrat, PKS, PAN, and PPP. Only the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle agreed to the implementation of a closed proportional election system.
