This research is normative. The study found that Article 3 (1) regulation number 1 2014 About the Election of governors, regents and mayors passed into law No. 1 Year 2015 on the Election of governors, regents, and the Mayor state that, the local election is held every 5 (five) years simultaneously throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia.The Local Election schedule is implemented in several periods. Meanwhile the simultaneous national elections is held in 2027. Law No. 1 2015 mandates the Constitutional Court to resolve the dispute over the local elections, despite the fact that it is unlikely for one institution to examine and judge hundreds of cases of disputed local elections at the same time. Local Election dispute resolution processes also have a specified time limit.
