This research examines the legal ambiguity related to the mandatory resignation of legislative candidates (caleg) running for the 2024 regional elections in Indonesia. Using a comparative approach, this study evaluates the inconsistency of electoral law implementation in Indonesia and its impact on democratic integrity. The results show that the lack of clear and firm rules leads to variations in interpretation at the local level, potentially undermining public trust in the electoral process.
In comparison, countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia apply stricter rules regarding resignation to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure transparency in the electoral process. This study recommends reforming Indonesia's electoral regulations to adopt best practices from these countries, by clarifying resignation requirements and preventing the use of public resources for personal gain during campaigns. In doing so, these improvements will not only enhance legal certainty, but also strengthen the procedural legitimacy and integrity of elections in Indonesia.
