The 2024 Makassar mayoral election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor of Makassar 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 in the Makassar City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties received 10 or more seats from the 2024 legislative election, all parties must form coalitions in order to nominate a mayoral candidate. [3] [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Makassar's case corresponds to 67,402 copies. No such candidates submitted a registration with the General Elections Commission (KPU) before the set deadline. [5]
The previous elected mayor, Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto, had served for two terms and was ineligible to run in the mayoral election. [6]
