Abstract:
Objective: The organization of the regional general election during the Covid-19 pandemic surely creates
threats towards the citizens’ right to live, which is guaranteed by the constitution. It is not easy to guarantee
the safety of the organizers as well as the voters and to build a discipline in running the health protocol
during the regional general election This paper aims to describe such condition.
Method: This research uses the juridical-normative method with the descriptive-qualitative approach.
Result: There needs to be a tight and a measured health protocol which is able to prevent the turning of
the regional general election into an arena of mass Covid-19 infection. It is important to strengthen the
regulation in the form of prohibitions and sanctions in violating the protocol.
Conclusion: The General Election Commission and the government must act strictly to every violation
of the health protocol, as it endangers many people. There must be clear regulations on the prohibition of
the general election campaign and activities which involve many people in the red areas, and campaign
limitations in the green areas.
