Abstract

The existence of election supervisors in political and administrative legal reviews is important to avoid delegitimization of the process and results of election implementation, as well as to anticipate the development of various acts of election violations based on the legal system in an integrated and comprehensive manner. This issue stems from the fact that there are many administrative violations and election crimes that are not handled thoroughly. Seeing the above conditions it can be seen that Bawaslu is only the recipient of reports/clarifications, and discusses reports along with the results of these reports but the next stage is handed over to the police who will investigate the violation where Bawaslu does not handle the violation thoroughly. The legal research conducted by the author is prescriptive in nature, namely studying the purpose of the law, the values of justice, the validity of the rule of law, legal norms and has the aim of providing a prescription regarding what must be done. As for the research approach, the approach used in this study is the case approach (case approach) and contextual approach (conceptual approach).Therefore it is necessary to combine the institutions between Bawaslu and Gakkumdu, these efforts are intended to increase operational efficiency or maximize the potential of the Bawaslu institution and prevent election violations, handle election records, resolve election disputes, and impose sanctions. The purpose of its establishment, Bawaslu was formed with the aim of institutionalizing political control in order to guarantee the political rights of all citizens in elections. Therefore, Bawaslu has a strategic role in holding elections in a direct, general, confidential, honest, fair, and integrity manner.
