The 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election culminated in contentious disputes brought before the Constitutional Court, resulting in Decisions Number 1 and 2/PHPU.PRES-XXII/2024. This study analyzed the Court's legal reasoning in adjudicating claims of structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) electoral violations and examined the significance of dissenting opinions in shaping constitutional discourse. Employing normative legal research with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches, this study examined the Court's interpretation of its jurisdiction, the tension between procedural and substantive justice, and the implications for democratic legitimacy. The findings revealed that the Court adopted a restrained interpretive posture, emphasizing procedural compliance over substantive accountability, while acknowledging structural weaknesses in electoral oversight. The dissenting opinions articulated a vision of substantive justice that challenged the majority's formalistic approach, highlighting unresolved tensions between judicial restraint and the constitutional mandate to safeguard democracy. This study concluded that the decisions exemplify the judicialization of politics in Indonesia, where courts become arenas for resolving fundamentally political conflicts, yet remain constrained by doctrinal limitations and institutional design. The study recommends comprehensive reform of electoral dispute resolution mechanisms and strengthened ethical frameworks for constitutional adjudication.
