The 2024 South Sulawesi gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of South Sulawesi for a five-year term.
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 17 seats in the South Sulawesi Regional House of Representatives. The Nasdem Party, which won 17 seats in the 2024 legislative election, is the only party eligible to nominate a gubernatorial candidate without forming a coalition.[3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in South Sulawesi's case corresponds to 500,294 copies. No candidates registered as an independent until the deadline had passed.[4]
