NORMATIVE ANALYSIS OF SUPERVISORY REGULATIONS IN VILLAGE HEAD ELECTIONS: ENSURING LEGAL CERTAINTY IN SUMEDANG REGENCY

Ryan Syaifurrakhman — 2026-05-01

Indonesia’s constitutional system guarantees the implementation of local democracy through the mechanism of Village Head Elections. Within the framework of Indonesia as a state governed by the rule of law, all aspects of Village Head Elections should ideally be conducted based on the principle of legal certainty, including the aspect of supervision. However, there are normative deficiencies in the regulatory framework governing supervision in Village Head Elections, as reflected in various legal instruments, including laws, Minister of Home Affairs regulations, as well as regional and regent regulations as their implementing provisions. This study aims to analyze the regulatory framework governing the implementation of Village Head Elections in Sumedang Regency, particularly from the perspective of supervisory practices, and to examine it within the framework of constitutional law. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The legal materials used consist of statutory regulations containing norms related to the implementation of Village Head Elections, as well as relevant constitutional law doctrines. The findings indicate that, with regard to the supervisory aspect, the regulatory framework governing Village Head Elections in Sumedang Regency does not yet provide clear, systematic, and comprehensive norms concerning supervisory institutions, the scope of supervisory authority, or mechanisms for handling violations. This condition creates the potential for legal uncertainty, undermines the principles of local democracy, and contradicts the fundamental tenets of the rule of law. Therefore, strengthening the regulatory framework on supervision in the implementation of Village Head Elections is necessary to ensure legal certainty and to enhance the quality of democratic governance at the village level.

IMPLEMENTASI SERTIFIKAT TANAH ELEKTRONIK TERHADAP KEPASTIAN HUKUM DI KOTA MEDAN

Siti Nurul Hasanah — 2026-05-13

Transformasi digital pengelolaan lahan melalui sertifikat tanah elektronik merupakan langkah penting dalam reformasi birokrasi dan modernisasi sistem administrasi pertanahan nasional. Landasan hukum untuk hal ini ditetapkan dalam Peraturan Menteri Bidang Agraria dan Tata Ruang/Badan Pertanahan Nasional (ATR/BPN) Nomor 1 Tahun 2021 tentang Sertifikat Elektronik. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan sertifikat elektronik terkait kepastian hukum menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan legislatif dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Peraturan Menteri ATR/BPN Nomor 1 Tahun 2021 tidak bertentangan dengan UU Pertanahan Tahun 1960 (UUPA) atau Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 24 Tahun 1997 dan didukung lebih lanjut oleh pengakuan dokumen elektronik dalam UU Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE). Secara normatif, sertifikat elektronik telah memenuhi aspek legalitas dan kejelasan hukum; namun, kepastian hukum substantif masih bergantung pada validasi data, keamanan siber, perlindungan data pribadi, dan kesiapan kelembagaan. Di kota Medan, penerapan sertifikat elektronik berpotensi meningkatkan transparansi dan akurasi dalam administrasi tanah, namun masih memerlukan penguatan teknis dan kelembagaan untuk mencegah ketidakpastian hukum baru.

STRUKTUR KETATANEGARAAN ISLAM DALAM PEMIKIRAN IMAM AL-MAWARDI

Fastafat Nayke br. Simanjuntak — 2026-05-28

Leadership in Islam is a fundamental pillar in preserving religious existence and maintaining worldly order. This research aims to dissect the political thoughts of Imam al-Mawardi regarding the structure of the Islamic state, which includes the institution of imamah (head of state), the council of ahl al-hall wa al-aqd (electorate body), and the wizarah system (ministry). The research method employed is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach, referring to primary sources such as Al-Ahkam as-Sulthaniyah and Qawanin al-Wizarah wa Siyasat al-Mulk. The results indicate that al-Mawardi conceptualizes leadership as a mandate that must be collectively upheld (fardhu kifayah) to ensure justice. The legitimacy of leadership is strengthened through the role of ahl al-hall wa al-aqd as a representation of the people's sovereignty in succession and power oversight mechanisms. Furthermore, al-Mawardi systematizes the distribution of administrative authority through wizarah al-tafwidh (ministry with full mandate) and wizarah al-tanfidh (executive-technical ministry) to achieve governmental efficiency. This study concludes that the integration of these three institutions demonstrates the flexibility of al-Mawardi's thought, which maintains strong relevance to modern governmental administrative restructuring today.

Rizal Fuad Muttaqin — 2026-05-31

General elections constitute the primary instrument for realizing constitutional democracy and popular sovereignty in Indonesia. In their implementation, the effectiveness of election law enforcement is a crucial factor in ensuring the conduct of free and fair elections. The General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) holds strategic authority in supervising, preventing, and taking action against electoral violations. However, in practice, the 2024 General Election still witnessed various violations, indicating that the effectiveness of election law enforcement has not yet been fully optimized. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Bawaslu’s authority in enforcing election law during the 2024 General Election in Karawang Regency and to identify the factors influencing such effectiveness. The research employs an empirical legal research method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies related to the implementation of Bawaslu’s authority in election law enforcement. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to understand how Bawaslu’s authority was exercised in the practice of election administration. The findings indicate that Bawaslu’s authority in election law enforcement falls within the category of being moderately effective. This effectiveness is influenced by several factors, including regulatory frameworks, the quality of human resources, coordination among election law enforcement institutions, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, as well as the level of public participation and legal awareness. The study emphasizes that institutional strengthening, capacity building of human resources, and the optimization of inter-agency coordination are strategic measures for enhancing the effectiveness of election law enforcement in a manner that upholds integrity and democratic principles.
