The House passed the election bill after selecting option A, which stipulates a presidential nomination threshold of 20 percent of House seats or 25 percent of national votes.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The Election Law, which was recently passed, potentially triggers judicial reviews. If they are not immediately solved by the Constitutional Court (MK), the judicial reviews would potentially disrupt the stages of election and open possibilities for election disputes.

The judicial reviews of the law, which was passed at the House of Representatives in the early hours of Friday, may target Article 222 on the presidential threshold (20 percent of House seats or 25 percent of the popular vote). The stipulation was the most contentious article during the nine-month deliberation of the law by the House and the government.
