- Abstract
MA purgatori No 225/PK/pidsus/2017 decided the main criminal offense against Defendant Patrice Rio Capella based on article 12 letter (a) of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 along with an additional criminal revocation of voting rights and chosen. There is a problem with the revocation of the right to vote and be elected. The problem is how is the validity of revocation of the right to vote and be elected in the Supreme Court Purgatori No. 225 PK/Pid. Sus/2017 according to Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections? This problem uses normative research methods and expert interview data. The author analyzes that the revocation of the right to vote and be chosen is contrary to the state’s constitution and human rights, in which Article 240 of the Election Law is strengthened that Indonesian citizens are an absolute requirement to vote and be elected without any limitations on the revocation of the right to vote and be elected. Additional crimes in the form of revocation of the right to vote and be chosen undermine the democratic order in Indonesia. The author suggests to the Judge to wisely decide and consider all issues so that there is no chaos in democracy.
