 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. Background

Elections in democratic countries, including in Indonesia, are a process that places

people's sovereignty entirely in the hands of the people themselves through a peaceful
system of change of power carried out periodically in accordance with the principles
outlined by the constitution. The principles in general elections that are in accordance
with the constitution, among others, are the principles of state administration which
have people's sovereignty (democracy), which are indicated that every citizen has the
right to participate and be active in every state decision making process.

A country in the form of a republic which means that power is returned to the
community (public) to determine the direction and substance of the government that
cannot be separated from the supervision of the people themselves. The form of
government that is formed because of the willingness of the people and aims to fulfill
the interests of the people itself is called democracy. Democracy is a process,
meaning that a republic will not stop in one form of government as long as the people
of that country have an ever-changing will. There are times when the people want
super-strict supervision of the government, but there are also times when people are
bored with their representatives who continue to act because of power as if there is no
limit. In contrast to the form of the monarchical state government that makes lineage
the basis for choosing leaders, the democratic republic applies the principle of
equality and equality in which everyone who has the ability to lead can become a
leader if he is favored by most people.

Through a democratic system, the government makes contracts or agreements

with the people which are referred to as social contracts. In a democratic republic,
this social contract or community agreement is manifested in a general election.
Through general elections, the people can directly choose who is their representative
in the legislature and choose directly or through their representatives to elect the
government institutionalized by the executive to channel the aspirations or wishes of
the people which will then determine the future of a country.
B. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM
In this paper, the authors propose limited problem formulations as follows:
a. What is the general description of the implementation of elections in
Indonesia?
b. What vision and mission do candidates and vice president have?
c. What expectations do citizens have in organizing elections in Indonesia?
C. WRITING PURPOSE
This paper aims to explain the formulation of the problem as mentioned
above, namely:
1. To find out an overview of the implementation of the presidential and vice
presidential elections in Indonesia
2. To find out the conditions for the election of the President and Vice
President in Indonesia.
3. To find out the hopes that citizens have in organizing elections in
Indonesia.
 CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

A. Definition of General Elections

General elections, hereinafter referred to as Elections, are a means of
implementing popular sovereignty in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia
based on the 1945 Constitution and State Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
In our country's constitution, article 1 paragraph (2) 1945 Constitution of the
Republic of Indonesia (The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia) states:
"Sovereignty is in the hands of the people, and carried out entirely by the People's
Consultative Assembly".   The meaning of the sovereignty of the people meant is the
same as the meaning of the highest power, namely the last power in the authority to
make decisions. There is no single article that explicitly states that the Republic of
Indonesia is a democratic country. But because the implementation of sovereignty is
in the hands of the people, it means nothing but democracy itself. Thus, it can be
implicitly said that the state of the Republic of Indonesia is a democratic country.
The meaning of sovereignty in the hands of the people in its realization when
the state or government faces a big problem that is national in nature, both in the
fields of constitutional, legal, political, economic, religious and socio-cultural, then  
all citizens are invited or required to participate in discussing, consulting, expressing
opinions and making a joint decision. This joint decision is made through general
elections, this is the essential democratic principle.

On April 17, 2019 to come, the people of Indonesia will re-distribute it through
the voice and the will of the presidential election. There are 2 candidates for president
and vice president. The hope of all people is not really much , they want to
accumulate their hopes for the elected president and vice president. They are expected
to be capable people, nationalists, clean of corruption and consistent in defending the
interests of the people. The problem this country has so much, it is a true leader and
deputy leaders of this country must meemperhatikan his people's interests. The voters
have fulfilled their right to vote, all procedures have been taken, the price of the
election is not cheap, the elected presidential and vice presidential candidates must be
responsive to defend the people in all lines of life.
 CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION
 
In a democratic country, general elections are one of the most vital elements,
because one of the parameters of measuring the democratic nature of a country is the
way in which elections are carried out by the state. Democracy is a form of
government by the people. The implementation of government by the people is by
electing people's representatives or national leaders through a mechanism called
general elections. So elections are a way to elect representatives and leaders. The
hope of the people from the implementation of the election is the election of the
people's representatives in accordance with the wishes of the people. The challenge is
that there are citizens who do not fulfill their voting rights or abstention because they
are disappointed with the performance of the previous leader.
 CHAPTER IV
CLOSING

So this paper I compiled. As good citizens, we must fulfill our rights and
obligations. Choosing in an election on the one hand is a right, but on the other hand
is our obligation. As a nation and a big country, we hope that all of them will lead to a
better Indonesia.
The author realizes that the preparation of this paper is far from perfect,
however, the authors hope that there will be benefits for us all. For the deficiencies
that exist, the authors hope for suggestions and input. Benefits always exist in every
right choice. The highest norms of democracy are not "range of freedom" or "range of
similarities", but the highest measure of participation. (Ad Benoist).
