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]
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 (20 percent of all seats) in the Bogor City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The Prosperous Justice Party, which won 11 seats in the 2024 legislative election, is the only party eligible to nominate a mayoral candidate without forming a coalition with other parties.[3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bogor's case corresponds to 60,014 copies. According to the General Elections Commission (KPU), one candidate consulted with the KPU, but did not end up registering before the set deadline.[4]
The previous mayor, Bima Arya Sugiarto, had served two full terms and was ineligible to run in the election.[5]
