Abstract

In Indonesia, there is a nomination threshold often referred to as the Presidential Threshold in the mechanism to nominate a President and his/her Vice-President in the Election of the President. The stipulation of the threshold as a condition for Political Parties to nominate pairs of President and Vice President candidates in the General Election is 20% of the votes or 25% of the seats in the Representative House in the previous legislative elections. This arrangement caused controversy because it limited the rights of political parties as eligible election participants in nominating candidates for the presidential position. It also ignored political parties’ constitutional rights. The threshold requirement for presidential candidacy is also known in Turkey. Turkey is the only country that the author found where the presidential nomination system uses a threshold requirement. However, the presidential nomination threshold in Turkey is only 5% or 100,000 voters from the previous parliamentary elections. Presidential elections in Turkey are carried out simultaneously between the legislative and presidential elections and apply a two-round system like in Indonesia. Therefore, the threshold for the presidential nomination in Indonesia needs to be reduced and even removed to not restrict political parties from proposing candidate pairs for the position of President and Vice.
