The 2024 West Java gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the Governor of West Java for a five-year term.
Electoral system
The election, like other local elections in 2024, follow the first-past-the-post system where the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they do not win a majority.[1] It is possible for a candidate to run uncontested, in which case the candidate is still required to win a majority of votes "against" an "empty box" option. Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date.[2]
Candidates
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from 24 seats in the West Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As none of the parties won 24 or more seats in the 2024 election, coalitions of multiple parties are required to nominate a candidate.[3][4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in West Java's case corresponds to 2.32 million copies. No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission for the gubernatorial election.[5]
