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 in the Bekasi City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The Prosperous Justice Party, with 11 DPRD seats, is the only party eligible to nominate a mayoral candidate without forming a coalition. [3] [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bekasi's case corresponds to 117,623 copies. An independent ticket registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU), but failed to submit the necessary proofs of support within the provided time. [5]
