Timeline

Registration for party-backed candidates were opened between 8 and 10 January 2018, while independent candidates were required to register between 22 to 26 November 2017. [2] The numerical order of the candidates were determined on 13 February through a lottery. [3] The campaigning period would commence between 15 February and 24 June, with a three-day election silence before voting on 27 June. [4]

Election silence, pre-election silence, electoral silence, or campaign silence is a ban on political campaigning before, and in some countries during, a presidential or general election. Under this rule, in some jurisdictions, such as Slovenia, it is forbidden to try to convince people to vote for a specific candidate or political party on the day of election. Some jurisdictions have declared that, legally, election silence is in violation of law regarding freedom of speech. It is however used in some of the world's democracies "in order to balance out the campaigning and maintain a free voting environment".

No independent candidates registered to contest the election. [5] The first debate between the candidates were held on 7 April, although it was not covered by national media except for Radio Republik Indonesia . [6] Three debates were planned to be held between the candidates. [7] On 20 April 2018, the Lampung branch of KPU declared that the province would have 5,768,061 valid voters. [8]

Radio Republik Indonesia

Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) is the state radio network of Indonesia. The organization is a public broadcasting service. It is a national radio station that broadcasts all over Indonesia and abroad to serve all Indonesian citizens throughout the nation and overseas. RRI also provides information about Indonesia to people around the world. Voice of Indonesia is the division for overseas broadcasting.

Candidates

Under regulations, candidates are required to secure the support of a political party or a coalition thereof comprising at least 20 percent of the seats (i.e. 17 of 85) in the regional house. Alternatively, independent candidates may run provided they are capable of securing support in form of at least 456,594 photocopied ID cards subject to verification by the local committee although no candidates expressing interest managed to do this.

[14] Since PDI-P controls enough seats in the provincial assembly by itself, it was not required to form a coalition with other parties. [15]

Golkar decided to endorse its cadre Arinal Djunaidi, who is also the head of its Lampung office on 21 December 2017. In the declaration, they selected East Lampung regent and PKB member Chusnunia Chalim as his running mate.
