The purpose of this study was to examine more deeply the dynamics of Presidential Threshold ratification in Indonesia. The research method used in this research is library research method. Data collection techniques used are research literature, documents, and other sources. There are several findings of this research. First, the application of the presidential threshold is a more democratic policy because it does not threaten the existence of political parties in proposing a pair of candidates for President and Vice President to remain constituent. Second, the presidential threshold in elections is needed for strengthening the presidential system in Indonesia by building up a strong figure of President and Vice President, because the elected President and Vice President will have a large base of political support in the parliament. Third, the presidential threshold can force political parties or joint political parties to seriously select candidates for President and Vice President, so that it will bring qualified President and Vice President.
