In general there are some things that are presented by Pramono Ubaid Tanthowi, M.A related to the legal aspects of Law Number 7/2017, the timing challenge (preparation) of KPU and the technical and political implications of the 2019 election. Firstly, from the legal aspect, basically the Law Number 7/2017 provides the legal basis for the implementation of the simultaneous General Election (between the General Election of DPR, DPD and DPRD, with the Presidential and Vice Presidential Election) and the Law fulfills the Constitutional Court Decision No. 7/2017. 14 / PUU-IX / 2013 governing the 2019 General Election. Thus the Act is a codification of the Law on the General Election of DPR, DPD, and DPRD; The Presidential and Vice Presidential Election Law; as well as the Election Organizing Law.

Second, Law No. 7/2017 has an impact on the timing challenge for the KPU to undertake preparations. “Law 7/2017 was ratified in the Plenary Session of the House of Representatives on July 21, 2017, and enacted by Kemenkumham on August 16, 2017, while the KPU has determined the election H day on April 17, 2019. According to Article 173 paragraph 3, each new and old political party must follow a series of registration and administrative research. Even though many political parties and parties do not agree, but this is done to maintain the principle of KPU that there is equality between political parties.
