- Abstract
Elections are a process of electing people to fill certain political positions, such as presidents, vice presidents, people's representatives at various levels of government, to the simplest or the least of the village heads. From the perspective of Constitutional Law, direct popular vote is conducted within the period of office in an organization of the state. On that basis, then speaking of the election, inevitably must be placed within the framework of the principle of people's sovereignty, because the election itself is a manifestation of people's participation that is central to the principle of people's sovereignty or democracy. Election is a means of political participation of the community to participate in determining public policy. Through elections the people can directly establish public policy through support to contestants who have programs that are considered aspirational to the interests of the people. Contestants who win because they are supported by the people must realize their promises when they have held the reins of government
