In the Election Law the duties and functions of Bawaslu, Provincial Bawaslu and Regency / City Bawaslu are strengthened and clarified.

Article 466 of the Election Law states that: Election Process Disputes include disputes between Election Contestants and Election Contest participants and Election Organizers as a result of the issuance of KPU Decisions, Provincial KPU Decisions and Regency / City KPU Decisions.
