T The suspension of debt payment obligations (pkpu), as regulated under law number 37 of 2004, is a legal instrument that provides an opportunity for debtors experiencing financial difficulties to restructure their debts through a composition plan with creditors. the most decisive stage in the pkpu process is the creditor voting mechanism, as the voting results determine whether the proposed composition plan is accepted or rejected, which directly affects the continuity of the debtor’s business. the implementation of the pkpu voting mechanism must comply with law number 37 of 2004, particularly article 281, while also identifying legal obstacles that arise in practice.this research employs normative legal research using a statutory approach and a case approach through the study of the commercial court decision at the central jakarta district court number 17/pdt.sus-pkpu/2025/pn niaga jkt.pst. the results of the study indicate that the voting mechanism has been carried out in accordance with law number 37 of 2004, particularly regarding the fulfillment of quorum requirements and the approval of the majority of creditors. however, several obstacles are still encountered in practice, including differences in interests among creditors, limited understanding of the substance of the composition plan, and the potential dominance of creditors with large claim values. therefore, greater transparency and stronger supervision are required to ensure that the pkpu voting mechanism functions effectively and fairly.
