Institutional Repository UIN Sunan Kalijaga YogyakartaEKSISTENSI PUTUSAN MK NO. 60/PUU-XXII/2024 TENTANG AMBANG BATAS PENCALONAN KEPALA DAERAHNIM.: 21103070089Farhannil IbadauthorThe issuance of Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 amended the provisions concerning the nomination threshold for regional head elections as regulated under Law Number 10 of 2016. This decision has attracted considerable attention because it not only invalidated statutory provisions deemed inconsistent with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia but also formulated a new legal norm governing the requirements for nominating candidates for regional head elections. This development has generated academic debate regarding the Constitutional Court’s role as a positive legislator and the relevance of the decision when examined from the perspective of maslahah mursalah in Islamic law. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the existence of Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 within the Indonesian constitutional system based on the theory of positive legislator and to examine the decision from the perspective of maslahah mursalah. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources collected through library research. Subsequently, all legal materials are analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the research issues. The findings indicate that Constitutional Court Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 demonstrates the characteristics of a positive legislator, as the Constitutional Court not only annulled legal provisions that were inconsistent with the Constitution but also established a new legal norm concerning the requirements for nominating regional head candidates, which is self-executing and directly applicable in the implementation of regional elections. Furthermore, when examined from the perspective of maslahah mursalah, the decision fulfills the principles of public benefit (maslahah 'ammah), genuine benefit (maslahah haqiqiyyah), consistency with Islamic legal sources, the maintenance of a balance between political openness and public order (tadbīr al-maṣāliḥ), and conformity with the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-sharī'ah). Accordingly, the decision possesses not only constitutional legitimacy but also aligns with the principles of Islamic law, which emphasize justice, equality of political rights, and the promotion of public welfare.342 Hukum Tata Negara2026-07-19UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS SYARIAH DAN HUKUMThesis
