The 2029 North Maluku gubernatorial election will be held on late 2029 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of North Maluku for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2024.
The election, like other local elections in 2029, 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" a "disagree" option. Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date. [2]
The incumbent governor, Sherly Tjoanda, may run again in the election for a second term.
