The 2024 Denpasar mayoral election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect both the mayor and vice mayor of Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, for a five-year term (2025–2030). The previous election was held in 2020. Former Mayor I Gusti Ngurah Jaya Negara of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) won the election in a landslide with 74% of the vote, securing a second term. He defeated Gede Ngurah Ambara Putra of the Gerindra Party, who received 25%.
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.[2] 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.[3]
