Bawaslu Decision number 02/PTS/PSPP/BWSL.LTH.18.06/IX/2018 in the 2019 Election accommodates the right of former corrupt convicts to nominate themselves as legislators. Meanwhile, the regulations issued by the KPU through PKPU number 20 of 2018 prohibit corrupt convicts from becoming legislative candidates. Regency/city Bawaslu, with its quasi-judicial authority, in deciding a dispute, its decision can annul the KPU's decision or the dispute's decision is contrary to the norms regulated in the PKPU.
