Post-Pandemic Legislation in Indonesia: A Virtual Platform for Future Legislative Options?

Since the imposition of lockdowns or restrictions on social mobility in response to pandemics in 2020, the operations of many governments have undergone a radical transformation. Indonesia's compliance with the new health protocols did not stand out as exceptional in this regard. This article investigates how and to what extent the Indonesian Parliament utilized ICT during the pandemic, as well as the future viability of ICT as a legislative tool. This article argues that the Parliament's use of ICT during the pandemic improved its effectiveness, efficiency, and openness in carrying out its responsibilities. In addition, the number of MP s in attendance - albeit virtual - increased. This article suggests that appropriate regulation is required to authorize the use of ICT in legislative activities and that trained human resources are necessary to address cyber-related errors resulting from external threats. Additionally, the adoption of ICT should not be limited to digitizing legislative activities. It must be founded on the institution's core business.
