Objectives: In practice, political parties need well-known figures to run as candidates. To get this support, the practice of political dowry arose, in which a certain amount of money had to be deposited with party officials for operational costs. This activity has not been prosecuted legally, even though it should be suspected as a source of high-priced politics. Methods: This study uses a normative juridical approach, in which research data analysis is carried out through qualitative descriptions. Result: The study show that even though interpretation is carried out using an analogy that is rejected by the majority of criminal law experts, the practice of political dowry still cannot qualify as a crime, especially corruption. Conclusion: This conclusion was obtained regarding the subject of corruption as a bribe recipient, namely having to become a civil servant or state administrator. Political party officials are still analogous to civil servants or state administrators. Therefore, considering the adverse effects of the practice of political dowry, it is necessary to criminalize the practice of political dowry as a crime in the election nomination process in Indonesia.
