The 2024 East Nusa Tenggara gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of East Nusa Tenggara for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2018.
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]
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 13 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the East Nusa Tenggara Regional House of Representatives (DPRD).[3] As no parties won 13 or more seats in the 2024 legislative election, coalitions must be formed in order to nominate a candidate.[4] However, following a Constitutional Court of Indonesia decision in August 2024, the political support required to nominate a candidate was lowered to between 6.5 and 10 percent of the popular vote.[5] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in East Nusa Tenggara's case corresponds to 340,721 copies.[6] No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) by the set deadline.[7]
The previous governor, Viktor Laiskodat, is eligible to contest the election, but had publicly stated that he will not be seeking reelection.[8]
