Implementation of the Parliamentary Threshold in Elections for the People’s Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia According to the 1945 Constitution

The implementation of a democratic parliamentary threshold in Indonesia will always grow and develop in line with the growth and development of society. General elections which are a means to realize people’s sovereignty must carry out political ideas in its implementation, so that democratic elections do not only determine who sits in parliament but represent people’s sovereignty. The problem is whether the parliamentary threshold of the people’s votes represented through political parties as participants in the 4% parliamentary threshold election can still be called people’s sovereignty. The research method used is doctrinal research, namely research that is conceptualized and developed on the basis of the doctrine espoused in concept or development. The results of the study explain that the implementation of the Parliamentary Threshold is aimed at simplifying the party system and creating a strong presidential system with effective representative institutions, and guaranteeing people’s sovereignty. Parliamentary Threshold is considered to be more effective in finding political parties that are serious about fighting for people’s aspirations.
