The Constitutional Court (MK) has finally revoked the presidential nomination threshold, or *presidential threshold*. This threshold is the percentage of seats in the House of Representatives (DPR) or the percentage of valid votes in the general election required for a political party or coalition of political parties to nominate a presidential and vice-presidential candidate.

This decision by the MK is outlined in Decision Number 62/PUU-XXII/2024. Previously, the 20% presidential threshold had drawn much criticism and was considered controversial, deemed undemocratic, restrictive of political party participation, and hindering the emergence of alternative candidates.

The presidential threshold was first implemented in the 2004 presidential election (Pilpres) based on Law No. 23 of 2003. Specifically for the 2004 election, Article 101 stipulated that the threshold for nominating a presidential and vice-presidential candidate was 3% of the total seats in the DPR RI or 5% of the valid votes in the general election.

Then, in the 2009 election, the presidential threshold increased to 20% of the total seats in the DPR RI or 25% of the valid votes in the general election. This minimum threshold requirement remained in place until the 2024 presidential election, ultimately annulled by the MK earlier this month.
