The 2024 Jambi gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of Jambi 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 11 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the Jambi Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 11 or more seats in the 2024 legislative election, coalitions between parties must be formed in order to nominate a candidate. [3] [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Jambi's case corresponds to 227,470 copies. No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) prior to the set deadline. [5]
