One manifestation of the will of the people) in the framework of implementing popular sovereignty in government administration is to give recognition to citizens to move and be active in determining the form of governmental government. The existence of a constitutional path related to the direct election system of the President and Vice President by the people, has been interpreted by many as a step forward in building democracy. By law, General Election is regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections (hereinafter referred to as Law Number 7 of 2017), with consideration that the Election will guarantee the distribution of votes. The phrase "shall ensure the distribution of the voice of the people", including those which shall be realized in the election of the President. Because of the widest possible celebration of the people, it reflects the quality of democracy.
