- Abstract
Legislative policies in the form of legislation in the Reformation Era, on the one hand, must formally contain ethical and moral values, but on the other hand, legislative policies sometimes seem to ignore ethical and moral values. This can be seen from the absence of strict rules governing whether or not state officials with the status of suspects are allowed to participate in the nomination and election processes. This gives rise to legal problems in the form of blurring legal norms. The question then arises, how does Indonesian law regulate “suspect status” in the nomination and election of state officials in a progressive legal perspective. As a normative juridical study, this paper uses a statutory approach to various related legal materials, in order to conduct a content analysis from a progressive legal perspective. The results show that the nomination and election of state officials with suspect status within the scope of executive positions as regional heads and within the scope of legislative positions as members of the DPR RI do not have rules that require them to resign from their positions but in the perception of the concept of progressive law the law should be more conscientious in the sense that it is loaded with ethical and moral content, thus confirming “Law for humans”.
