Furthermore, the Court stated that the cancellation of Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra as a candidate for member of the Tarakan City DPRD for the Tarakan 1 Electoral District, while the candidate is a candidate whose votes have the potential to become one of the elected candidates, does not mean that the candidate whose votes are in the next order can automatically replace the position of the vote acquisition ranking of Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra, considering the acquisition of votes (which shows voter support) for Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra in the election of members of the Tarakan City DPRD for the Tarakan 1 Electoral District to other legislative candidates.
With this consideration, if Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra as a legislative candidate whose votes have the potential to be determined as one of the elected candidates is then disqualified, then to respect and protect the constitutional rights of voters who have cast their votes for Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra, and in order to reaffirm the legitimacy or public support for the candidate who will later be elected and become a member of the Tarakan City DPRD for the Tarakan 1 Electoral District, the Court is of the opinion that a revote must be carried out only for 1 (one) type of ballot paper, namely the DPRD Ballot Paper for the Regency/City in the election of members of the Tarakan City DPRD for the Tarakan 1 Electoral District without including Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra.
