Abstract

Elections are an integral part of a country's democratic agenda. Indonesia's current election model is a simultaneous election model to strengthen the presidential system and ensure effective and efficient elections. Simultaneous elections have yet to result in a maximum election. This research aims to find out the problems related to the implementation of general elections through the National and Local Simultaneous General Election models, analyze the design of the National and Local Simultaneous General Elections in future elections, and the influence of the general election design on the sustainability of democracy. This law was written using a normative juridical research technique. According to the 2019 General election research, combining national and local elections produces issues such as complexity and workload for organizers, a lack of effective and efficient elections, and the most remarkable strengthening of the presidential system. As a result, it is vital to improving the design of a more direct general election by separating the national election from the local election to improve democracy's quality.
