Abstract

As a country that upholds democratic values, the Indonesian people periodically, every five years, elect leaders at the central, provincial and district / city levels. The crucial stage in the regional head election is the nomination. Candidate pairs of candidates must vote, through political parties or individuals. Construction of Law Number 1 of 2015 in conjunction with Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning Regional Head Elections related to the nomination, formulating candidate pairs in the elections is at least 2 (two) pairs of candidates, but this article is in a judicial review to the Constitutional Court. With decision No. 100 / PUU / XIII / 2015, the Constitutional Court allows a single candidate. A single candidate is indeed legal, but it destroys democracy, political competition to get a credible regional head candidate, because he has the support of the majority of seats holders in the DPRD. The controlling power to hold democracy accountable no longer exists. Political Parties should improve the regeneration and recruitment of regional head candidates so that prospective leaders are ready to compete. Voters can use their voting rights with alternative candidates in accordance with the wishes of the community. The method used in this research is normative juridical. Secondary data sources as main data. Data collection methods by means of library study. Analysis of the data qualitatively. Article 40 of Law Number 10 Year 2016 regulates the minimum requirements for support of candidate pairs from political parties. This article must be reconstructed by regulating the maximum limit for political parties to carry candidate pairs in the elections, which is 50 (fifty) percent of the accumulated number of seats or valid votes so that there will not be a “ majority “ of political parties supporting one pair of candidates, while the party the remaining politics cannot register because they don’t meet the minimum seat requirement or a valid vote.
