This study aims to analyze the legal policy direction of the Constitutional Court (MK) in its election-related decisions after the 2024 elections and identify how these decisions function as instruments for restoring institutional legitimacy following the crisis triggered by Decision 90/PUU-XXI/2023. Using normative legal research methods with legislative, case-based, conceptual, and legal-political approaches, this study examines six Constitutional Court decisions that have strategic implications for electoral design and the structuring of the electoral system. The results show that the Constitutional Court has reoriented its interpretation pattern from a previously restrained stance to a progressive-controlled approach that emphasizes consistency of reasoning, proportionality, and correction of normative disharmony. Furthermore, it was found that efforts to restore legitimacy are carried out through two main channels: procedural restoration through the enforcement of ethics, increased transparency, and internal deliberative dynamics; and substantive restoration through strengthening the quality of argumentation and structural corrections to the electoral system. This study concludes that the series of Constitutional Court decisions following the 2024 elections constitute a coherent institutional response to reorganize the Constitutional Court's legitimacy while simultaneously directing electoral reform toward a more inclusive, consistent, and constitutional design.
