Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections Article222 governing the threshold of the nomination of president and
vice president (presidential treshold). The Constitutional Court
has decided that the threshold for nominating a president and
vice president is in accordance with the constitution. This
research is categorized as library research with literature
study. The type of approach is legal normative. Considerations
of the Constitutional Court ruled that the threshold article
(presidential treshold) is constitutional. First, the sound of
Article threshold limits the political parties participating in the
Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections which have passed
the verification by the General Election Commission. Unfair
treatment is evident for participants in the general election,
especially political parties who qualify to participate in the
general election and especially for those who want to run for
president and vice president. Second, the implementation of the
presidential threshold is not appropriate to strengthen the
presidential system in Indonesia. Presidential Treshold is not a
prerequisite for nomination, but a requirement for applying a
minimum threshold for presidential election.
