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 Garut Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no political parties won 10 or more seats in the 2024 Indonesian legislative election, parties are required to form coalitions in order to nominate a candidate.[3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Garut's case corresponds to 129,939 copies. Three candidates registered for the election in this manner, including former regent Aceng Fikri [id], but none submitted sufficient proofs of support to run in the election.[4]

The previous regent, Rudy Gunawan, had served two full terms and was therefore ineligible to run in the election.[5]
