The 2024 Batam mayoral election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor of Batam for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2020.
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 10 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the Batam Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). [3] The Nasdem Party, with 10 seats in the DPRD, is the only party eligible to nominate a mayoral candidate without forming coalitions with other parties. [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of a number of photocopies of identity cards, but no independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission by the set deadline. [5]
Incumbent mayor Muhammad Rudi had served two terms as mayor and was therefore ineligible to contest the election. [6]
The following are individuals who have either been publicly mentioned as a potential candidate by a political party in the DPRD, publicly declared their candidacy with press coverage, or considered as a potential candidate by media outlets:
