Indonesia is a legal state, the state’s administration is based on the Constitution as the highest law. The constitutional rights of every citizen are guaranteed constitutionally in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as the right to run for president and vice president. Candidates for President and Vice President proposed by political parties or coalitions of political parties are constitutionally not regulated. The election law stipulates its requirements as an open law policy. Therefore, by using a normative juridical approach, it is necessary to examine the limits of the Presidential threshold as an open legal policy such as the principles contained in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, namely democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and fair elections. The presidential threshold can be said to be against the principles of constitutional democracy because the constitution does not regulate it. The current election is held simultaneously, namely the legislative and presidential, and vice-presidential elections are held simultaneously. So, the Presidential threshold is no longer needed or should be removed. The results of the vote in the previous election were inappropriately used as the basis for Political Parties to nominate candidates for President and Vice President.
