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

Summarize
Perspective

According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from 24 seats in the East Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The National Awakening Party (PKB), with 27 seats, is the only party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming a coalition with other parties.[3] However, following a Constitutional Court of Indonesia decision in August 2024, the political support required to nominate a candidate was lowered to between 6.5 and 10 percent of the popular vote.[4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in East Java's case corresponds to 2.04 million copies. No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission for the gubernatorial election.[5]
