Indonesia's First Nationwide Regional Elections 2024

Indonesia will hold its first-ever nationwide simultaneous regional elections on November 27, 2024, involving over 200 million voters who will elect 37 governors, 93 mayors, and 415 regents. This election is critical for both President Prabowo Subianto and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), as the results will influence national politics and future elections. Prabowo's Advance Indonesia Coalition is facing off against the PDI-P, which is seeking to regain influence after a poor presidential election showing. Polling stations across the country will operate from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., with vote counting continuing until December 16. Security will be ensured by the National Police and the Indonesian Military, while logistics have been distributed to all polling stations. This election is seen as a significant event that will shape Indonesia's political landscape for the next five years.
