I In the 2024 regional representative council election in west sumatra province, the issue began with the removal of irman gusman’s name from the final candidate list by the general elections commission , despite having previously fulfilled all candidacy requirements and being listed in the provisional candidate list. the research problem formulated in this study is: what are the legal grounds for the exclusion of irman gusman as a dpd candidate in the 2024 legislative election, and whether the stages of the 2024 dpd re-voting in west sumatra were conducted in accordance with law no. 7 of 2017 on general elections. this research applies a normative legal method with a descriptive approach, using secondary data as the main data source. the data were analyzed qualitatively, and conclusions were drawn deductively. the findings show that the exclusion of irman gusman from the dct was a result of kpu\\\'s negligence in disregarding the clarification mechanism and failing to comply with the decisions of the administrative court (ptun) and the recommendations of bawaslu (election supervisory body), thereby violating article 262(4), article 263(2), and article 471(8) of the election law, as well as article 3(3)(b), article 180, and article 183(2)(a) of kpu regulation no. 10/2022. the provisions regarding re-voting (psu) are generally regulated under articles 372 to 380 of the election law. although the re-voting stages were carried out in accordance with the election law, the constitutional court’s ruling, and annex iii of kpu decision no. 66/2024, weaknesses in the oversight and law enforcement systems have led to the violation of constitutional rights for certain parties and disruption of the democratic process. it is essential that election organizers act firmly in upholding the law, comply with all court rulings, and promptly impose strict sanctions against violations of citizens’ constitutional rights to ensure the integrity and fairness of future elections.
