This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Integrated Law Enforcement Center (Sentra Gakkumdu) in upholding electoral justice in Indonesia using the legal system theory framework, which includes legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture. The research aims to identify normative and practical obstacles in the enforcement of election crimes and to formulate strategies for improving relevant regulations. This study employs a normative juridical approach through literature review and analysis of statutory regulations related to election law enforcement. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of Gakkumdu is largely influenced by inter-institutional coordination among election law enforcement bodies, the quality of human resources, and budgetary support. Several obstacles were identified, including differing interpretations of provisions in the Election Law, limited timeframes for handling election crime cases, and procedural complexity that hinders effective case resolution. To enhance the role of Gakkumdu, regulatory improvements are necessary, particularly in clarifying the definition of election crimes, strengthening coordination mechanisms, and improving the capacity and integrity of law enforcement officials. This research is expected to contribute both academically and practically to strengthening the election law enforcement system in Indonesia in order to promote fair, honest, and democratic elections.
