The 2024 Maluku gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of Maluku for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2018.




Electoral system


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. 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.




Candidates


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 9 seats in the Maluku Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 9 or more seats in the 2024 legislative election, all parties must form coalitions to nominate candidates. Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Maluku's case corresponds to 134,102 copies. No such candidates registered prior to the deadline set by the General Elections Commission (KPU).
