A government that can represent a diverse population geographically and ideologically is necessary to maintain the stability of the Republic of Indonesia. Elections are a way to determine legislative and executive officials who can effectively represent the citizens of Indonesia. Elections serve to maintain the people's sovereignty and elect a representative government. This is because a strong democracy has emerged in Indonesia following the country's reforms. After four amendments to the 1945 Constitution . , the Indonesian Constitution underwent four fundamental changes. The establishment of popular sovereignty was the first change, followed by the regular implementation of the trias politica, the system of checks and balances, the separation of powers in the administration of the state, and the rules in the administration of the state. This shows that it is the people who hold full sovereignty over the state, as determined by the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). Elections are a means of safeguarding the sovereignty of the people and the only process of building a country's political morality. During elections, citizens enjoy complete freedom, and the Constitution guarantees their right to express their political Elections are also democratic events that democratic countries must organize. Indonesia, as a democratic country, makes elections a routine agenda that is implemented Yusril Katili dan Firman Latuda.

The Republic of Indonesia is a sovereign territory of the people, and the administration adheres to the principle of the wisdom of the people guided by the affairs of deliberation/representation. General elections are needed to uphold the law and realize the representative function as the foundation of Indonesian sovereignty. The implementation of elections prioritizes the principles of free, honest, secret, fair, general, and direct elections to achieve its goals. The election organizing body must apply the principles of elections so that the process of holding elections maintains its integrity. The 2024 elections should have been a real boost to democracy. It was unfortunate when, in 2022, the Constitutional Court gave a decision that ministers or civil servants equivalent to ministers were not required to resign from their positions if they wanted to run as presidential candidates, making the democratic competition that had been going on for five years considered a lousy start for the country. The 2024 parliamentary elections will be held simultaneously on February 14, 2024, to elect members of the DPRD. DPR. DPD, and the President. 3 The Constitutional Court is one of society's hopes. Thanks to its authority, especially in constitutional testing, the Constitutional Court plays a vital role in the democratization of Indonesia as a defender of democracy. 4 Unfortunately. Constitutional Court Decision Number 68/PUUXX/2022 seems to have dashed people's hopes for democratic progress. To maintain integrity in the implementation of elections, it is necessary to have a code of ethics for every institution that plays a role in organizing elections. The code of ethics is an action and reference in ethics that is intended to regulate the actions of a person or group in a particular profession or position. From here, we can understand that morality is a human perspective that is not only through the mind but also through the Sapta Karsa Hutama is the code of ethics of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, which is the basis for reference to the actions and ethics of all Constitutional Ahmad Sadzali.

This code of ethics then becomes the legal basis for laws related to the Constitutional Court, which requires that all constitutional judges obey the code of ethics. The implementation of a code of ethics in the Constitutional Court must be an ethical guideline for constitutional judges in carrying out their functions. The main purpose of the code of ethics is to maintain every aspect, starting from the dignity, good name, and integrity of the Constitutional Court and continuing with the maintenance of ethical and moral standards of constitutional judges. Integrity and adherence to ethical rules in the decision-making process of law enforcement agencies are vital to maintaining credibility and public trust in public administration. 5 The Constitutional Court's code of ethics is considered a pillar of respect for the principle of constitutionality, which is the basis for ethics and guidelines for the behavior of all judges responsible for implementing law enforcement.

The political climate is also closely related to the decision of the Constitutional Court. The Decision Number: 90/PUU-XXI/2023 regarding the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates has become a hotly debated issue among the general public, academics, and practitioners.

In addition. Article 22 of DKPP Regulation Number 2 of 2017 regulates the sanctions that can be imposed if election organizers commit violations. The sanctions are divided into reprimand, reprimand, and temporary to permanent dismissal. Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023, led by Chief Justice Anwar Usman, concluded that the minimum age to hold or obtain elective office, including in local elections, is 40. However, this decision was questioned because Anwar Usman, as the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, is related to President Jokowi as his brotherin-law, so he was accused of violating ethical rules due to a potential conflict of interest. The Constitutional Court's Decision is aimed at supporting President Jokowi's son. Gibran Rakabumin Raka, who is now the Mayor of Solo and vice president. In this case, the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court. Anwar Usman, was reported to the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court or MKMK for violating the provisions of MK Regulation Number 02/ PMK/2003 concerning the Code of Ethics and Ethics.

Arief Hidayat, were reported for expressing different opinions that made allusions to matters outside the context of the issue at hand, including Anwar Usman's behavior, which was considered unethical and violated the judges' code of conduct. The report included allegations of behavior that violated the criteria of propriety expected of a constitutional judge, which could damage the image and credibility of the judiciary. The Mechanism of Supervision and Enforcement of the Code of Ethics in the Context of the Constitutional Court Decision According to Oemar Seno Adji, judges' freedom must be guided by two concepts: factual justice and actual facts. This means that judges cannot arbitrarily choose how to implement the basic principles and overall structure of judicial and organizational 12 The existence of the judiciary is interpreted as an inevitability in a country of law. The existence of a free and independent judiciary in the state system guarantees the continuity of the rule of law. Cooperation between various interrelated elements is an important element in realizing an independent judiciary. This is because the internal system of the institution currently serves as a benchmark to evaluate the integrity of the organization in carrying out the responsibilities and authorities entrusted to it. A code of ethics functions to maintain the sanctity of the constitutional system, one of which is by supervising the actions of judges internally and externally. Suppose you read the Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 thoroughly. In that case, the basis for the application . is based on "experience as a regional administrator both at the provincial and district/city levels. Application number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 refers to "experience" and "success" Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabumin Raka, which means application Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 does not rely on the reason for the application of elected officials. As far as is known, the application contains the name of the Mayor of Solo, the nephew of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, and Constitutional Oemar Seno Adji.

This implies that Usman cannot decide on an onion because of the applicant's family relationship with the Mayor of Solo mentioned in his application. Because it concerns the interests of his nephew, the document testing file of Constitutional Judge Anwar Usman related to the age limit of presidential candidates and his deputy may contain ethical violations in the application for a verdict. He could run for the Democratic Party in 2024 and intends to run for vice president in one of the parties, unlike the decision of the Supreme Court not to include Judge Anwar Usman. the proposal for collaboration with this political party differs. The three decisions gave relatively similar results, namely that age restrictions are a matter for regulators. This violation of the code of ethics is not only caused by the composition of the Constitutional Court judges whose election is through representatives of the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, and the Government, namely each person as stipulated by the UUMK. The investigation of the issue document regarding the constitutional test of the age limit policy for presidential candidates and their deputies in the election law in Case Number 90 is a constitutional setback for democracy and the Constitution. The provisions decided by the Constitutional Judge are harmful because they are not a regulatory body. This is because considering the age limit for appointment is the authority of the House of Commons . pen law polic. and creates contradictions against the Constitution. This contains a conflict of interest of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, who is not involved in the decision in the same case in a separate file. In addition to shortcomings due to conflicts of interest, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court also has leadership weaknesses because he violates the rules of procedure of the Constitutional Court, including the cancellation of the Case File (For. that has been withdrawn previously . ontempt of court by the test applican. 14 The lawsuit filing must be canceled, considering the legal position that the applicant does not suffer any potential or tangible constitutional harm.

Judges Sardi Isla and Arif Hidayat revealed that there was a violation beyond the reason of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court because this decision was taken based on superficial legal considerations and was full of practical political interests, so this decision is entirely reasonable to affect Jokowi's efforts to maintain political dynasties. Supervision and enforcement of the code of ethics are essential in maintaining the integrity of state institutions, including the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court's Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 is an example of how supervision and enforcement of the code of ethics can play a role in maintaining the credibility of the highest legal institution in Indonesia. The Constitutional Court's Decision concerns a substantive examination of several policies of Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court, which has changed with Law Number 8 of 2011 and Law Number 7 of 2020. This decision highlights the importance of effective mechanisms to monitor and enforce judicial integrity and the code of ethics. The mechanism for supervision and enforcement of the code of ethics at the Constitutional Court is a fundamental aspect of maintaining the integrity and credibility of this institution. The Constitutional Court's Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023, which establishes an adequate supervision and enforcement mechanism of the Code of Ethics to ensure that all constitutional judges carry out their duties with high integrity and professionalism, reminds us of the importance of being expected by improving regulations and increasing transparency, the Constitutional Court will remain a trusted pillar of justice in Indonesia. The internal supervision of the Code of Ethics by the Honorary Assembly of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) must monitor constitutional judges' behavior in compliance with the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. External supervision can involve the Judicial Commission (KY), which monitors judges' behavior at all levels, including constitutional judges, to ensure their integrity and professionalism. Code of Conduct supervision requires a rigorous evaluation process that includes public reports and complaints, initial checks by MKMK, and further investigations if necessary. Oversight also includes monitoring constitutional decisions to detect possible violations of the Code of Conduct. The Constitutional Court enforces the Code of Ethics by Jurnal Hukum In Concreto.

The sanction must be in accordance with the actions taken against violations of the code of ethics based on a comprehensive assessment of the MKMK. To improve the quality and maintain the integrity of the implementation of elections in response to the Constitutional Court's Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023, the Honorary Council of Election Organizers (DKPP) needs to take comprehensive and integrated strategic steps. First, strengthening supervision and enforcing the code of ethics must be a top The DKPP may conduct training and continuing education programs for all members of the election organizers, emphasizing the importance of professionalism and compliance with the code of ethics. In addition, periodic ethical audits need to be carried out to ensure that each member complies with the standards set so that potential violations can be minimized early. Second, transparency and accountability in the DKPP process and decisions must be improved. The public publication of the verdict will give the public an idea of DKPP's commitment to integrity and provide a deterrent effect for violators. Periodic reports on the performance and decisions of the DKPP published to the public can also increase public trust in this institution. In addition, the DKPP needs to strengthen communication with the KPU. Bawaslu, and other law enforcement agencies. The existence of good cooperation will ensure more effective and comprehensive supervision of all stages of the election. Cooperation with independent monitoring organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGO. is also essential to monitor the implementation of elections and detect violations as early as possible. DKPP must also utilize technology and information systems optimally. Developing a digital reporting system that is easily accessible to the public will make it easier to report ethical violations. Additionally, data analysis technology can help detect patterns of violations and take appropriate preventive measures. In handling violations, the adjudication process must be simplified and accelerated so that cases of violations can be followed up Providing firm and proportionate sanctions against violators is also essential to enforce discipline and set an excellent example for all election organizers.

To uphold the Constitution in Indonesia, the Constitutional Court (MK) has nine judges to test laws against the Constitution that are deemed to violate the Constitution.
