Pemilihan Kepala Daerah di Indonesia dan Perbandingannya dengan AS, Belanda, dan India

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan membahas mekanisme pemilihan kepala daerah di Indonesia, dengan melakukan perbandingan sistem pemilihan kepala daerah di sejumlah negara, antara lain: Amerika Serikat, Belanda, dan India. Mekanisme ini sebagaimana dalam Pasal 18 ayat (4) UUD NRI 1945 yang menyebutkan bahwa gubernur, bupati, wali kota masing-masing sebagai kepala pemerintahan provinsi, kabupaten dan kota, dipilih secara demokratis. Frasa dipilih secara demokratis selalu ditafsirkan bahwa pemilihan kepala daerah harus dilakukan secara langsung oleh rakyat. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan perbandingan. Penelitian menemukan bahwa potret pemilihan kepala daerah saat ini menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah belum mampu menciptakan kesejahteraan rakyat, bahkan menyebabkan semakin rusaknya moral para pejabat negara dan rakyatnya.
