Abstract
This research focuses on the experience of women legislative candidates in passing the selection process in political parties. This study explores the experience and challenges faced by women legislative candidates in the central level legislative and regency/city level legislative council for the 2019-2024 period. Women legislative candidates are drawn from three parties, namely Golongan Karya, Nasional Demokrat dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera. Data collection was carried out through the study of political party AD / ART documents, direct discussions, and in-depth interviews. Research results show that regulation in political parties has not fully favored female candidates. The high authority of party elites in the selection process has an impact on the number of female candidates who are nominated based on their proximity to the party elite
