Abstract: This study aims to analyze how the Presidential Threshold is from the perspective of Law Number 7 of 2017 in Indonesia. One of the objectives of the general election is to implement people's sovereignty and implement citizens' basic rights. With the enactment of Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, the presidential threshold has changed to 20% of the number of DPR seats or 25% of valid votes nationally in the previous DPR member elections. The purpose of implementing a fixed threshold policy is to strengthen the presidential system, because the threshold will force political parties to carry out political consolidation so that a coalition of political parties supports the president emerges. The research method used is normative legal research, which involves collecting legal materials from various sources such as journals, books, and websites to obtain answers to the main problems that have been formulated. The results of this study indicate that the Presidential Threshold in Indonesia can also be used to strengthen the presidential system with multiple parties. Without absolute support, the President is weak in "determining" efforts to drive the wheels of government and daily development
