Abstract

This article discusses the political dowry which is one of the causes or entrance of other corruption actions. Political justice cannot be justified, for whatever reason.This article uses normative legal research methods. The results of the study indicate that by giving political dowry to make candidates tend to commit acts of corruption, because they have to find replacement money for political dowry fees. Not to mention if the candidate intends to advance again in the next period, more funds must be collected. Political justice is not only a matter of candidates who contribute to election funding, but also must be seen from the main objectives of democratic elections and the moral and integrity issues of election participants. The government has provided several solutions both to anticipate the prevention of misuse of the resources of vulnerable countries to be politicized for elections such as the licensing sector with the Government Regulation (PP) of the Indonesian Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 24 2018 concerning Electronic Integrated Licensing Trying to get permission from Ministers, Governors, Regents and other officials authorized by law are transferred to Online Single Submission (OSS) Institutions. even so, the heavy duty still needs to be resolved by the organizing agency and the election supervisor to be able to explore and uncover the alleged politics of the dowry. All parties are aware that it is very difficult to prove the allegations of political dowry even though there are many who know that such practices do exist.
