The President of Indonesia is directly elected every five years. As stipulated in Article 7 of the Constitution, incumbent president Prabowo is eligible to run for a second and final term. The presidential election is required to be held before the expiration of his current term on 20 October 2029.
The general election period is regulated in Article 6A and Article 22E of the Constitution and by the Law on General Elections. The presidential and vice-presidential nominees are proposed by political parties or coalitions of parties, including those which are not sitting in the parliament. Unlike previous presidential elections, there will be no presidential threshold, thus every eligible political party may field a pair of candidates.[1]
A runoff is held if no candidates obtains more than 50% of the votes with at least 20% of the votes in more than half of the provinces in Indonesia in the first round. As of the 2024 election, a runoff has only ever taken place in 2004.
