Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 120/PHPU.BUP-XXIII/2025 demonstrates the application of the dismissal process in resolving disputes over the results of the 2024 Regional Head Elections (Pilkada). This mechanism is regulated under Constitutional Court Regulation Number 6 of 2020 concerning the Procedures for Adjudicating Disputes over General Election Results. Through this mechanism, the Constitutional Court may reject a petition without proceeding to a full examination if the petition does not fulfill the formal requirements. In such cases, the panel of judges may declare the petition inadmissible. This study aims to examine: (1) the legal considerations of the Constitutional Court judges in resolving disputes over the results of the 2024 Regional Head Elections, and (2) the legal consequences of the dismissal process practice on the constitutional rights of election participants. This research employs a normative legal research method using secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data were collected through document studies and analyzed using qualitative methods. The results show that the judges’ decision to reject petitions at the preliminary stage reflects the application of the principle of judicial restraint as regulated by statutory provisions. The legal consequences of the dismissal process are ambivalent. On the one hand, it strengthens legal certainty, finality of decisions, and judicial efficiency. On the other hand, it may limit access to justice, due process of law, and the protection of the constitutional rights of election participants.
