However, recurring controversies in lawmaking reflect the persistent problem of abusive legislation in Indonesia. The enactment of revisions to the State-Owned Enterprises Law, the Mining Law, and the Military Law in early 2025 illustrates Indonesia's continued failure to realize the principle of meaningful participation. On the other hand, technological developments present an opportunity to optimize digital-based public participation as a means of addressing abusive legislation. Therefore, an appropriate solution is needed through the implementation of the crowdsourcing law model (hereafter "CrowdLaw") to strengthen e-participation in Indonesia. Based on these issues, this article aims to answer two main questions: (1) why is it urgent to optimize public consultation amid the practice of abusive legislation, and (2) how can the crowdsourcing law model be applied in the consultation process to ensure meaningful participation in the digital era? This article employs a normative juridical (doctrinal legal research) method, using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The article concludes that meaningful participation has yet to be fully realized, as public consultation is still often treated as a mere formality. The presence of CrowdLaw offers a more inclusive and interactive alternative. Accordingly, reformulation of the Law on the Formation of Laws and Regulations, along with revision of the relevant DPR Regulation, is necessary to provide legal certainty and legitimacy for the implementation of CrowdLaw.</em></p> Nadirah Dinta Ardiyanti, Agnis Zediana, Nadila Amelia Copyright (c) 2026 Nadirah Dinta Ardiyanti, Agnis Zediana, Nadila Amelia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.uii.ac.id/JCGS/article/view/46318 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000
