There are two opinions in the phrase "democratically elected", which is contained in Article 18 paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution, the first opinion that local elections be directly elected and a second opinion that local elections can be done by Parliament. When seeing the interpretation of the others paragraph in the 1945 Constitution relating to elections, the local elections are not the same as the general election, such election DPR, DPD, DPRD, President and Vice President. Local elections through representation system done by Parliament is also can be considered democratic that also reflects the people souvereignty which is characterized by Pancasila, as aspired by the Founding Fathers.
