Electoral system

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]

Candidates

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 15 seats in the South Sumatra Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 15 or more seats, parties will be required to form coalitions to nominate a candidate. [3] [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in South Sumatra's case corresponds to 474,477 copies. No candidates registered in this method within the deadline given by the General Elections Commission. [5]
