Elected mayor

TBD

The 2024 Semarang mayoral election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor of Semarang for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2020.

Electoral system

[edit]

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

[edit]

According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 10 seats in the Semarang City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, with 14 seats, is the only party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming a coalition.[3][4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Semarang's case corresponds to 80,579 copies. No such candidates registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) prior to the deadline.[5]
