The Action Against of TNI Who Involved in the Election Campaign Reviewed from Institutional and Authority Theory

The TNI is not included in the Gakkumdu Center institution. The TNI is one of the law enforcers in implementing general elections. As law enforcers who are not included in the Gakkumdu Center, violations committed by the TNI will be delegated to institutions authorized to handle TNI violations that are also involved in the campaign. The research method used is normative, namely researching and studying using statutory regulations. The results of the research are that action against the TNI who were involved in the election campaign is related to action against TNI neutrality, Bawaslu's role is to provide supervision related to preventing TNI non-neutrality and in this case Bawaslu can only make recommendations. TNI who are proven to be involved in practical politics are siding with and providing support to political parties and the candidate pairs being put forward will be dealt with firmly by the TNI commander. The authority to take action against the TNI who were involved in the campaign at the Gakkumdu Center rests with Bawaslu which only provides recommendations which are then delegated to the State Civil Apparatus Committee for follow-up. The design of the Gakkumdu Organization so that it can take action against the TNI even though there is military justice is that the prosecution of the TNI by the Gakkumdu organization must be designed in such a way, namely by making the handling of general election violations with an institution that has been created as a specialist for handling election crimes so that the handling of violations of the TNI's involvement in the campaign can be resolved in an efficient manner. effective and not complicated. It is necessary to add clauses to the Law on Elections by strengthening the tasks, authority, duties, obligations, roles and functions of institutions that lead to the transformation of their function as a control institution that handles general election crimes.
