Corruption is an extraordinary crime that undermines the governance system and democracy. One form of additional criminal sanctions applied to corruption offenders in Indonesia is the revocation of political rights. This sanction aims to prevent corrupt individuals from returning to public office and minimize the risk of repeated corruption offenses. However, in practice, the implementation of the revocation of political rights for corrupt individuals still shows various legal inconsistencies. Some court rulings include this sanction, while others do not, even though the defendants have the same role in the corruption offense. Additionally, the lack of clear standards regarding the duration and mechanism of the revocation of political rights further exacerbates legal uncertainty. Therefore, legal reform is needed to ensure that the revocation of political rights for corrupt individuals can be applied consistently and effectively. This study uses a normative legal method with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. The legal materials used consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources, which are systematically analyzed to identify existing legal problems and find appropriate solutions for the reform of additional criminal sanctions in the form of the revocation of political rights for corrupt individuals. Legal reform is expected to clarify the rules regarding the revocation of political rights, both in terms of application, duration, and mechanism. With legal certainty in the revocation of political rights, it is hoped that it will strengthen efforts to eradicate corruption and maintain the integrity of the democratic system in Indonesia.
