This case note examines the provisions and application of Aceh Qanun 3/2008 regarding the requirement that Muslim candidates for elections must pass a Qur’an recitation test. It questions whether this requirement falls within the special autonomy granted to Aceh. The case note is accompanied by a translation of Qanun 3/2008.
