The 2024 Cirebon mayoral election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor and vice mayor of Cirebon, West Java for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2017. Golkar's Effendi Edo won the election, receiving 50% of the vote. Former Mayor Eti Herawati of the NasDem Party placed second with 30%, followed by Dani Mardani of the National Mandate Party (PAN), who received 18%.
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
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates were required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 7 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the Cirebon Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 10 or more seats in the 2024 legislative election, all parties must form coalitions in order to nominate a candidate in the election.[3][4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Cirebon's case corresponds to 21,534 copies.[5] No one independent candidate registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU).
