The 2024 Acehnese gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of Aceh for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2017.
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]
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 13 seats (15 percent) in the Aceh House of Representatives (DPRA). Notably, this was lower than the national standard of 20 percent of seats. The Aceh Party (PA), which won 20 seats in the 2024 legislative election, is the only party eligible to nominate its own candidates without forming a coalition with other parties. [3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Aceh's case corresponds to 165,476 copies. [4] While one candidate registered with the Acehnese Independent Elections Commission (KIP), they did not fulfill the criteria, making the 2024 election the first Acehnese gubernatorial election to not include an independent candidate.

The previously elected governor, Irwandi Yusuf, was arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission in 2019. [6]
