Electoral system
editThe 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
editAccording to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from 20 seats in the Banten Regional House of Representatives. As no parties won 20 or more, coalitions of multiple parties will be required to nominate a candidate.[3] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Banten's case corresponds to 663,199 copies. No independent candidates submitted a registration with the General Elections Commission within the provided deadline.[4]

The Governor of Banten for the 2017–2022 term, Wahidin Halim, has participated in two gubernatorial elections, namely in 2011 and 2017. In 2024, Wahidin, who has switched parties from Demokrat to NasDem, has been assigned by his party to run as a legislative candidate for the DPR RI for the Banten III electoral district. He then decided not to nominate in the 2024 gubernatorial election.[5] Another candidate who emerged was Achmad Dimyati from the Natakusumah clan who popularized himself as "Mr. Dim".[6] He has also received a mandate from his party, PKS, to run as a candidate in the regional election.[7] On the other hand, Gerindra party cadre Andra Soni is also in the gubernatorial election candidate list.[8] On June 30 2024, Gerindra gave Andra the task of running as a candidate for governor.[9] Considering that Gerindra's seat in the 2024 legislative election is ahead of PKS, PKS is given the opportunity to nominate a candidate for deputy governor. The candidate from PKS is Dimyati. He was given the mandate by the chairman of Gerindra, Prabowo Subianto as a candidate for deputy governor.[10] The second declaration was made by the seven political parties who won seats in the legislative elections which are officially members of the Advanced Banten Coalition. The name of the coalition is a continuation of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition at the national level.
