The 2024 East Kalimantan gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of East Kalimantan for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2018.
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 11 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the East Kalimantan Regional House of Representatives (DPRD).[3] The Golkar party, which won 15 of 55 seats in the 2024 legislative election, is the only party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming a coalition with other parties.[4] 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.[5] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in East Kalimantan's case corresponds to 236,185 copies.[6] No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) prior to the set deadline.[7]
