Abstract

Constitutional rights are fundamental rights for all Indonesian society, including indigenous communities that uphold the values of their customary law. Often, customary law differs from the positive law that applies in Indonesia, but that is not a reason to deny customary law within indigenous communities in a particular area. The indigenous community in Yahukimo is an example of a community that still practices its customary law in various aspects of life. Therefore, even in the implementation of elections, they use their own customary law and do not adhere to the Election Law. Noken is their way of conducting voting. Constitutional recognition of Noken can be accepted by the Constitutional Court as a cultural value.
