The 2024 Bogor regency election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the Regent of Bogor Regency for a five-year term. The previous regency election was held in 2018. Electoral systemThe 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] CandidatesAccording to electoral regulations, candidates are required to secure support from 11 seats in the Bogor Regency Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The Gerindra Party, with 12 seats in the DPRD, is the only party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming coalitions with other parties.[3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bogor's case corresponds to 252,814 copies. Out of three independent candidates registering, Indonesian Solidarity Party politician Gunawan Hasan managed to submit the necessary amount of identity cards and therefore qualified for the election pending a General Elections Commission verification.[4][5] PotentialThe following are individuals who have either been publicly mentioned as a potential candidate, or considered as such by press:
