Abstract: General Election is one form of efforts to implement a democratic system in Indonesia. With this election, people can fulfill their right to freedom of expression. However, besides that, the holding of elections often creates conflicts that have an impact on election disputes. This is what hinders the process of state sovereignty from running properly. Therefore, in an effort to avoid this, a supervisory agency was formed to organize elections in Indonesia. The General Election Supervisory Agency (or as Bawaslu) is one form of effort in implementing a good electoral process. Bawaslu has the authority to oversee everything that happens when the election takes place from the start until the election results are read. From this article the author will discuss the Bawaslu Institution as well as its role in resolving election disputes in Indonesia. In addition, the author also provides an analysis of a case study, an example of election disputes that have occurred in Purwakarta Regency, West Java.
