Legal News – Dirty Vote is an explanatory documentary film about the 2024 elections fraud. The film, which lasts 1 hour, 57 minutes, and 21 seconds, premiered on Sunday (11/2/2024) at 11:11 AM via the Dirty Vote Youtube channel.

This documentary features three constitutional law experts' views, namely Bivitri Susanti, Feri Amsari, and Zainal Arifin Mochtar regarding the fraud that occurred in the 2024 presidential and vice-presidential elections.

At the opening of the film, Bivitri revealed that this year's election cannot be considered normal.

“I want to be involved in this film because many people will understand even more that extraordinary fraud has indeed occurred, so this election cannot be considered normal,” explained Bivitri.

In general, there were various frauds that occurred in the 2024 elections, including the provision of social assistance, the use of regional head authority, and fraud within the KPU.

This article contains a description of the arguments from each constitutional law expert regarding the fraud of the 2024 elections as presented in the Dirty Vote documentary film.

Dirty Vote in Feri Amsari's Perspective

Through the film, Feri Amsari first gave a response regarding the “one round” narrative echoed by the Prabowo-Gibran candidate pair in the 2024 elections. According to him, this is not that easy to do. Moreover, one round must meet the requirements stated in Article 6A paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, namely:

"The presidential and vice-presidential candidate pair who receive more than fifty percent of the votes in the general election with at least twenty percent of the votes in each province spread across more than half the number of provinces in Indonesia, are inaugurated as President and Vice President."

Furthermore, Feri Amsari showed the 2009 Presidential Election Victory Distribution Data which illustrates how many and vast the victory areas of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) were. Meanwhile, the CSIS Sumatra Survey 13-18 December 2023 stated that the Prabowo-Gibran pair only dominated one-third of the Sumatra Province area. Therefore, according to him, it is not easy for presidential and vice-presidential candidates to win 50% of the vote in one round.

On the other hand, Feri not only discussed in which areas a presidential and vice-presidential candidate received the most support, but also who the leader of the area was. Considering that the neutrality of regional officials can also be a factor in the number of votes for a presidential and vice-presidential candidate.

In this case, he gave an example of a phenomenon that occurred in Sorong, West Papua, where the regent, Yan Piet Moso, signed an Integrity Pact with the Regional Intelligence Agency which contained an agreement to be ready to seek support and contribute a minimum of 60% + 1 votes to Ganjar Pranowo in the 2024 elections. According to him, this figure is considered serious.
