Indonesia 's Constitutional Court says a law requiring a minimum number of votes for political parties to nominate a presidential candidate is not legally binding.

Under the current law, parties must win 20% of the vote, whether individually or through a coalition, at a legislative election.

A group of university students who said it limited the rights of voters and smaller parties challenged the law.

The ruling did not specify if the requirement should be abolished or lowered.
