T The parliamentary threshold, as an instrument for simplifying the party system in elections for the house of representatives (dpr), is regulated under article 414 paragraph (1) of law number 7 of 2017 on general elections. however, its implementation has generated considerable debate due to its perceived inconsistency with constitutional values. this study aims to analyze the constitutional court\\\'s assessment in decision number 116/puu-xxi/2023 regarding the constitutionality of the parliamentary threshold provision and to examine its legal and constitutional implications for the 2029 legislative elections. this research employs a descriptive normative legal method using a qualitative approach, with conclusions drawn through deductive reasoning. the findings indicate that the constitutional court, in its capacity as a negative legislator, did not declare the parliamentary threshold provision unconstitutional, despite acknowledging that the threshold was not formulated based on rational, proportional, and scientifically grounded methods and that it has the potential to conflict with constitutional principles. instead, the court\\\'s position may be regarded as having shifted toward that of a quasi-positive legislator, as it reformulated the provision by imposing specific conditions, thereby declaring the parliamentary threshold to be conditionally constitutional. this reasoning also demonstrates inconsistency in the court\\\'s legal considerations and has implications for legal uncertainty regarding the reformulation of the parliamentary threshold ahead of the 2029 dpr legislative elections.
