Abstrak

The purpose of the study was to find out and explain that society does not need a threshold restriction in presidential nominations. The research method used is the empirical legal research method, wshich are studying written laws and literature, and then connecting them to real events. Meanwhile, the data collection technique is literature. This study concludes that in the past 15 years, the validity of the Presidential Threshold has always produced the same figure, so that it seems to provide less alternative choices for the people in determining the candidate of their choice. In addition, it is also related to the procedure or mechanism for nominating the president / vice president that is put forward by the party, which is no longer recognizing the threshold, but each political party participating in the next election can nominate a presidential candidate from each political parties. Therefore, what must be encouraged is the presidential and vice presidential candidate selection process so that it prioritizes rationality, morality, integrity, and candidate capacity.
