The 2024 Batu mayoral election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor of Batu City for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2017.
Electoral system
[edit]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
[edit]According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 10% percent of the valid votes during the last mayoral election.[3]
The previously-elected mayor, Dewanti Rumpoko, is eligible to run for a re-election.[4]
Declared
[edit]On 30 July 2024, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle instructed Krisdayanti, one of Indonesia's most successful singers, to become a candidate for the Batu mayoral election.[5] Krisdayanti's nomination was officially confirmed by the party on 22 August 2024.[6] In the same evening, she suddenly announced through Instagram story that she would drop out from the race. However, a few days after, she rescinded her resignation and decided to proceed with her candidacy.[7]
