Abstract

Democracy has mandated elections as a way for the people to choose their leaders. Regulations on Elections have allowed ex-corruptors to nominate at election events. The practice of ex-corruptors nominating as Regional Heads occurred in Bengkulu Province, namely the Agusrin-Imron pair. The Bengkulu Provincial KPU decided that this pair was unqualified for requirements (TMS). Conversely, the Bengkulu Province of Bawaslu decision stated that they were qualified for the requirements (MS). This paper uses a qualitative method of literature study that describes and describes phenomena that occur in a place. The purpose of this study is to find out what are the causes of differences in KPU and Bawaslu’s decisions in interpreting the regulations regarding the nomination of ex-corruptors in Bengkulu Province. The results of this study, First, there are differences between the KPU and Bawaslu in interpreting election regulations related to the waiting period for Agusrin as a former corruption prisoner. Second, this regulation is still multi-interpreted, giving rise to conflict relations between election management institutions. So the election regulations must be refined again for the progress of the implementation of elections in Indonesia.
