The 2018 Central Java gubernatorial election was held on 27 June 2018 as part of the simultaneous local elections. It was conducted to elect the governor of Central Java along with their deputy, whilst members of the provincial council (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah) will be re-elected in 2019.
Incumbent governor Ganjar Pranowo ran for his second term in office against former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Sudirman Said. Despite polling lower than expected by most surveys, Ganjar managed to defeat Said to secure his second term as governor.
On September 10, the General Elections Commission declared a voter count of 27,409,316 in the province. [2] Voting will be done in 64,171 polling stations across the province. [3]
Registration for party-backed candidates were opened between 8 and 10 January 2018, while independent candidates were required to register between 22 and 26 November 2017. [4] [5] The campaigning period would commence between 15 February and 24 June, with a three-day election silence before voting on 27 June. [6]
Under regulations, candidates are required to secure the support of a political party or a coalition thereof comprising at least 20 seats in the regional house. Alternatively, independent candidates may run provided they are capable of securing support from 6.5 percent of the total voter population (1,781,606) in form of photocopied ID cards subject to verification by the local committee although no candidates expressing interest managed to do this.
