QUO VADIS PENEGAKAN HUKUM POLITIK UANG: POTRET PILKADA SERENTAK 2020 DI PROVINSI JAWA TENGAH

Abstract

Regional Head Election on 2020 left money politics problem in Central Java Province. However, the case could not be continued to the investigation stage because there was not enough evidence, did not meet the alleged article elements, and expired. This study discusses the issue of money politics enforcement by the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) using normative juridical approach and relies on secondary data. Money politics law enforcement in the 2020 regional elections has not been optimal because in terms of legal substance, there are criminal sanctions that ensnare recipients so that people are reluctant to report, the limited time for handling violations, the justification and burden of proof that are difficult, as well as limitation on money politics that are not defined concretely.
