Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date. ^[2]

As no parties won 20 or more, coalitions of multiple parties will be required to nominate a candidate. ^[3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Banten's case corresponds to 663,199 copies. No independent candidates submitted a registration with the General Elections Commission within the provided deadline. ^[4]
