2024 Bekasi regency election

The 2024 Bekasi regency election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the regent of Bekasi Regency for a five-year term.

Electoral system
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. 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.

Candidates
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 11 seats in the Bekasi Regency Regional House of Representatives. As no parties secured 11 seats or more in the 2024 legislative election, coalitions are required to nominate a candidate. Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bekasi's case corresponds to 143,014 copies. An independent candidate registered for the election, but did not pass the requirements.

The previously elected regent, Neneng Hassanah Yasin, was arrested for corruption in 2018. Her replacement and elected vice regent, Eka Supria Atmaja, died of COVID-19 in 2021.
