Abstract: The purpose of this research is to analyze the general election system in Papua that uses the Noken system, which is related to the realization of citizens' constitutional rights regulated by the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The research method used is normative law using secondary data. The results of the study show that the Noken system in the implementation of regional elections in Papua is not democratic and is not in accordance with the principles of general elections, thus violating Article 43 of Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. "The Noken system in organizing regional elections has no place in the constitution in Indonesia. The implementation of the Noken system in the implementation of local elections is subject to money politics or buying and selling of votes carried out by political elites with the help of local traditional leaders. The law has not been implemented optimally. Political education is still not much known by the indigenous people of Papua.
