Application of the concept of justice as fairness in limiting the voting rights of former convicts to run for elected public officials

Restrictions on the voting rights of former convicts to run for public officials who are introduced to the conditions to be able to run for public officials can be said to be rights restrictions. These restrictions are very decisive for a citizen to be elected. This study is intended to dissect the legal considerations of the Constitutional Court related to the application of the concept of justice as fairness if the Constitutional Court is faced with the issue of protecting the individual rights of former convicts and protecting the rights of citizens collectively to obtain a leader who is clean and with integrity. The concept of justice as fairness is one of the methods used by the Constitutional Court in examining, adjudicating and deciding this case. This research approach is carried out using a comparison between the decisions of the Constitutional Court in deciding the norms of the same article, namely the requirement "never have been sentenced to prison" for someone who wants to run for an elected public official
