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 were required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 13 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the West Nusa Tenggara Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 13 or more seats in the 2024 legislative election, coalitions between political parties are required in order to nominate a candidate. [3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in West Nusa Tenggara's case corresponds to 333,055 copies. No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) prior to the set deadline. [4]
