Abstract

Local wisdom values prevailing in a customary community have been included in the general election system in Indonesia, in the highland areas of Papua, in which a “noken system” is implemented in the democratic fiesta of the election of leaders of the central government and regional governments, to be precise. The noken system has been juridically recognized under the Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia (MK), but the House of Representatives (DPR) and the General Elections Commission (KPU), institutions given regulatory authority, have yet to follow up the aforementioned decision by regulating the noken system in laws and regulations, making the implementation of the noken system in the general election unbased on legal provisions and vulnerable to misuse. This is a normative and empirical study aimed to determine and examine the legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture of the noken system implemented in Indonesian general elections. The objective of this research is to figure out the legitimacy of the noken system in Indonesian general elections and the relevance of the noken system in the democratic system prevailing in Indonesia.
