Electoral system

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

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 (20 percent of all seats) in the Bandar Lampung Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). ^[3] With 10 seats, the Gerindra Party is the only party eligible to nominate a mayoral candidate without forming a coalition with other parties. ^[4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bandar Lampung's case corresponds to 59,260 copies. Aaccording to the General Elections Commission, no independent candidates registered or expressed interest in running by the set deadline. ^[5]
