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. [2] 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. [3]

Candidates

According to electoral regulations, candidates are required to secure support from a political party or a coalition controlling 10 seats in the Bandung City Regional House of Representatives. With 11 seats, the Prosperous Justice Party is the only party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming coalitions with other political parties. [4] Independent candidates were required to demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bandung's case corresponds to 121,705. One independent candidate registered with the General Elections Commission by the deadline on 12 May 2024, but did not submit enough identity cards to qualify. [5]

The previously elected mayor, Oded Muhammad Danial, died in 2021 in the middle of his term. His deputy and replacement, Yana Mulyana, was arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission and removed from his office in April 2023. [6]
