Constitutional Court Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024 confirms the separation between the implementation of national general elections and regional head elections (Pemilukada), which were previously designed to be held simultaneously. This decision is an important development in Indonesia's electoral system, which has long viewed simultaneity as a means of efficiency and strengthening democratic consolidation. This article aims to examine the constitutionality of separating simultaneous general elections and regional head elections based on the legal considerations contained in Constitutional Court Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024. This study uses normative legal research by applying a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach through analysis of the ratio decidendi of the Constitutional Court. The results of the study show that the separation of the implementation of general elections and regional elections has strong constitutional legitimacy, particularly in order to ensure the effectiveness of the electoral process, minimize the technical and administrative burden on organizers, and improve the quality of political participation and voter rationality. In addition, the separation policy is considered to be in line with the principles of people's sovereignty, constitutional democratic values, and the principles of regional administration as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia
