Abstract
The right to vote and be elected in elections is a deviation from the sovereignty of the people which is part of the human rights of every citizen in a democratic country. Hence, to strengthening the presidential system adopted by Indonesia, the presidential threshold policy is also considered capable of reducing parliamentary domination which weakens the presidential system. The research is a normative-juridical research, using a statute, conceptual and case approaches. The results show that the limitation of voting rights with the application of the presidential threshold, the equality of citizens before the law in terms of the principle of justice can be said to not fulfill the principle of justice, namely equality in exercising the right to vote and be elected in the process of changing power. Enforcement of voting rights in terms of statutory regulations shows that the presence of the presidential threshold increases wasted votes, with many wasted votes resulting in many people’s voices being not represented. The right of citizens to vote is contained in the rights of citizens guaranteed by the constitution in the form of equality in law and government.
