Abstract

This study examines the controversy surrounding the granting of investigative authority over electoral crimes to the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) within the framework of the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Sentra Gakkumdu). The research problem focuses on whether investigative authority should be directly assigned to Bawaslu and the main factors contributing to the suboptimal enforcement of electoral law in Indonesia. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the institutional design of Sentra Gakkumdu and to formulate an ideal model for electoral law enforcement in Indonesia. This research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The analysis is strengthened through bibliometric mapping using the VOSviewer application to examine the development of studies on electoral law enforcement and institutional design, as well as by comparing Indonesia’s electoral law enforcement system with those of Norway, New Zealand, and Sweden. The findings indicate that the primary issue does not lie in the absence of investigative authority within Bawaslu, but rather in the limited investigation timeframe, weak interinstitutional coordination, and inflexible regulations.
