What Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu Republik Indonesia does

Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu Republik Indonesia (DKPP RI) is Indonesia's independent Electoral Ethics Council, a constitutional body established on June 12, 2012 under Law No. 15 of 2011 and strengthened by Law No. 7 of 2017. It is the sole institution mandated to enforce the Code of Ethics for Election Organizers (KEPP) across all levels of the Indonesian electoral ecosystem, including members of the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Body (BAWASLU) from the national level down to polling station officials (KPPS, PPS, PPK). DKPP receives complaints of alleged ethical violations, conducts ethics hearings, and issues final and binding rulings (as confirmed by Constitutional Court Decision No. 31/PUU-XI/2013) that can range from written warnings to permanent dismissal of election organizers.

DKPP's operational infrastructure consists of a headquarters in Jakarta (occupying premises owned by PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia) and a decentralized network of 228 Tim Pemeriksa Daerah (Regional Examination Teams) covering all 38 Indonesian provinces, sworn in on November 6, 2025 for the 2025-2026 period. Its digital product surface includes the SIETIK online complaint portal (sietik.dkpp.go.id), a public hearing schedule (dkpp.go.id/jadwal-sidang/), a rulings database of over 2,280 decisions (dkpp.go.id/putusan/), hearing records (dkpp.go.id/risalah/), and an academic Open Journal System for election ethics research (journal.dkpp.go.id). The institution is led by Chairman Heddy Lugito (2022-2027 term), six council members, and Secretary Drs. Syarmadani, M.Si.

DKPP is funded entirely through the Indonesian state budget (APBN), administered under the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). The revised 2025 budget was Rp 68.6 billion with a 98.5% realization rate (Rp 67.6 billion), broken down as personnel (Rp 11.7B), goods (Rp 53.1B), and capital expenditure (Rp 2.7B). The institution does not generate commercial revenue, charge fees for services, or have private shareholders. Its value delivery is measured by ethical case throughput (206 complaints received January-November 2025, with 191 adjudicated; 13 complaints January-June 2026 with 8 cases involving 24 respondents heard) and an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) on its 2025 financial statements from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK RI).

Broad incumbents

• Federal Election Commission (FEC): U.S. independent regulatory agency overseeing federal election campaign finance and ethics. Comparable as an independent, statutorily created election integrity body with quasi-judicial enforcement powers and bipartisan governance.
• Australian Electoral Commission (AEC): Australia's national electoral management body combining operational and compliance functions. Comparable as a mature, well-resourced electoral institution with public-facing complaint and adjudication mechanisms, providing a benchmark for institutional scale and digital service delivery.
• Election Commission of India (ECI): India's constitutional body governing elections, with powers to recommend disqualification of officials. Comparable as a large-scale, constitutionally entrenched electoral authority exercising ethics/discipline functions over election participants.

Direct peers

• Ombudsman Republik Indonesia: Indonesia's national Ombudsman handling public complaints against government services. Comparable as a constitutional complaint-handling body with quasi-investigative powers, public reports, and recommendations to executive agencies — functionally analogous to DKPP's complaint-to-ruling pipeline.
• Komisi Yudisial Republik Indonesia (KY): Indonesia's Judicial Commission, which oversees judge ethics. Most directly comparable Indonesian institution to DKPP in mandate (ethics enforcement over a defined public-officer population), quasi-judicial process (hearings, binding rulings), and constitutional status.

Emerging players

• International IDEA: Intergovernmental organization supporting electoral integrity globally. Comparable as an international body that DKPP participates in through the Global Network for Electoral Justice, providing peer institutional context and thought leadership on election ethics.
• International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES): International NGO that provides technical assistance on electoral administration and integrity. Comparable as a knowledge/institution-building peer that operates adjacent to DKPP's mandate through training, research, and standards work on election ethics.

Regional players

• Komisi Aparatur Sipil Negara (KASN): Indonesia's Civil Service Commission overseeing civil servant ethics and discipline. Comparable as a domestic Indonesian ethics enforcement body with quasi-judicial hearings and binding sanctions over a defined public-official population, providing a domestic institutional parallel.
• Badan Pengawas Pemilu (Bawaslu): Indonesia's Election Supervisory Body, also under DKPP's ethical jurisdiction. Comparable as a complementary election administration institution focused on supervision rather than ethics adjudication, operating through parallel national-to-polling-station structures.
• Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU): Indonesia's General Election Commission, the primary subject of DKPP's ethical jurisdiction. Operates at all levels (national, provincial, district/city) and is the most directly comparable electoral management body in Indonesia, sharing scope but with an operational (not adjudicative) role.
