The 2024 Medan mayoral election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor of Medan for a five-year term.
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. [2] 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. [3]
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from 10 seats in the Medan City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). None of the parties won 10 or more seats in the DPRD in the 2024 election, and so coalitions of multiple parties are required to nominate a candidate. [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Medan's case corresponds to 120,475 copies. No such candidates registered with the General Elections Commission by the provided deadline. [5]
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 press:
