Electoral system
editThe 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
editAccording 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 9 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the Tasikmalaya City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The Great Indonesia Movement Party, with 10 seats in the DPRD, is the only party eligible to nominate a mayoral candidate without forming a coalition with other parties.[3][4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Tasikmalaya's case corresponds to 40,375 copies. Murjani, a former Gerindra member serving in the Tasikmalaya City DPRD, registered as an independent candidate, but failed to submit sufficient proofs of support to run in the election.[5][6]
