Political and state law is a legal science that studies the relationship between law and politics and regulates the organization and structure of the state. Of course, this is related to the governance of a country, starting from a general election, the formation of a government, to the supervision of state power. Generally, a general election is carried out directly by the people to elect members of the People’s Representative Council, Regional People’s Representative Council, President, and Vice President. The legal basis for the election itself, for example, is in the 1945 Constitution Article 22 E and Law No. 7 of 2017 as amended by Law No. 7 of 2023.

 

Umi Illiyina, S.H., M.H., in her explanation, stated that “Based on Law No. 7 of 2017, related to Election Organizers are divided into 3, namely the General Election Commission (KPU), the General Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), and the Election Organizer Honorary Council (DKPP). As for the classification of election legal problems, it is divided into election disputes and election violations. Problems related to election disputes are divided into 2 points, namely disputes over results and non-result problems. Furthermore, related to election violations, are divided into 3 points, namely criminal, administrative, and ethics of election organizers.” The following is the presentation from Umi Illiyina, S.H., M.H. After the presentation of the material has been completed by the resource person, students are welcome to ask questions directly. In addition to the presentation of the material, the resource person also provided a case study to students as an illustration of the form of law and state politics, and then the event continued with the handover of souvenirs and a group photo session.
