Abstract

Implementing elections for indigenous peoples in Indonesia is challenging. It requires an approach that is sensitive to their needs and aspirations. Challenges include limited understanding, low political participation, information gaps, and incompatibility with indigenous values and practices. To fulfill indigenous peoples’ political rights, it is important to involve them in all stages of elections and respect their customary legal systems. Political education and accurate information need to be provided. Cooperation between governments, electoral bodies, and civil society organizations is important. The implementation of elections for indigenous peoples strengthens political participation, preserves cultural identity, and promotes recognition of their special values and interests. Protection of indigenous peoples’ rights, justice, equality, and non-discrimination must be guaranteed. The research method used in this research is normative juridical research or doctrinal research using comparative legal research. Overall, the protection and recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples is an important step in building an inclusive and just state. By upholding the principles of equality and justice, the state can ensure equal political participation for all citizens, including indigenous groups, so that they can contribute fully to national development.
