LEGAL SETTINGS FOR USE OF THE RIGHT TO SELECT AS HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDONESIA
Abstract
Voting rights are not infrequently a hot conversation in elections, presidential elections, and regional head elections. Many people question the existence of the right of suffrage held by citizens. Because the implementation of suffrage is closely related to political issues that aim to gain power. Political reasons are sometimes used as justification for curbing citizens' voting rights which are considered normal and reasonable. In terms of legislation provides guarantees for citizens in fulfilling their voting rights as human rights. To see how the legal arrangements for suffrage in the human rights prespective, eating the method used can be in the form of normative research using secondary data obtained from the literature and analyzed qualitatively and the results described. Based on the analysis it appears that although the right to vote is guaranteed in legislation , but in its implementation it has two meanings, namely: on the one hand it can be used freely without the interference of any party related to the determination of the right to vote, and on the other hand it can be restricted in connection with the use of suffrage relating to procedural issues.
