Abstract
Elections have been held on a regular basis in Indonesia. The electoral system used is an important aspect of election administration. In Indonesia, various types of electoral systems have been implemented, one of which is the proportional system. In Indonesia, two proportional systems have been implemented: the closed list proportional system and the open list proportional system. Both of these systems have their advantages and disadvantages in society. As a result, it is necessary to understand the development of a proportional system in legislative elections in Indonesia, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each system, in order to understand the reasons for selecting this system in legislative elections in Indonesia. This study takes a normative juridical approach. It is defined as descriptive research, data collection techniques using a literature review to obtain secondary data, and data analysis techniques using a descriptive analytical approach. According to the findings of this study, the development of the legislative general election system in Indonesia has not seen much change; all of them use proportional representation, but only in the period before The proportional system reform used a closed list proportional system, whereas it used an open list proportional system after the reform. Furthermore, each system has advantages and disadvantages that can be seen in terms of representational proportionality, party systems, representative institutions, and the relationship between elected representatives and voters
