The PKPU is considered contrary to Article 240 paragraph (1) letter g and Article 182 letter g of the election law because it provides a red carpet for former corruption convicts to become election participants. revocation of political rights is done because the convict has abused his authority as a public official, this punishment is expected to protect the public from similar actions and cause a deterrent effect for the convict. Whereas, for Contra-groups, denial of revocation of Rights is chosen or chosen because it violates human rights.
