Abstract

This research will examine the urgency of legal reform concerning the political freedom of Indonesian National Army (TNI) members in elections in Indonesia. By highlighting the inconsistencies between the restrictions on TNI's political rights and the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights, this study will analyze the impact of existing policies on inclusive political participation and military neutrality. Based on theoretical studies and comparative reviews with international practices, this research will present alternative solutions and legal reform models that can be adopted to improve the current situation. Ultimately, this study will provide concrete recommendations for the government, legislative bodies, and other relevant parties to enhance the political freedom of TNI members in elections, aiming to strengthen democracy and uphold human rights in Indonesia.
