Abstract

The participants in the house of representative election is political parties. However, elections are conducted to choose member of the Indonesian House of Representatives (IHR). Therefore, the Party has the authority to carry out democratic selection in determining the cadres to be nominated in the General Election (GE) which will later be directly elected by the people as the holder of sovereignty. The derivation of the relationship between political parties and candidate of IHR spawned so many election rules that position candidate of IHR in a weak position. Setting the pattern of relations between parties and candidate of IHR in elections has not guaranteed justice and has not been able to protect voters’ votes. To photograph as well as analyze the position of candidates IHR as described above, the research method used is normative with a statute approach, a conceptual approach and a case approach. In this study resulted in the conclusion that the legal position of candidate of IHR between political parties and voters in elections is in a weak position and vulnerable to being treated unfairly by party leaders. So that candidate of IHR cannot fight for the people's votes (voters) they get before the law. Therefore, candidates for members of the house of representatives need to get guaranteed access to justice (AJ).
