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.

No such candidates registered with the General Elections Commission by the provided deadline. [2]
