2024 Cianjur regency election

The 2024 Cianjur regency election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the regent of Cianjur Regency for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2020.

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 10 seats in the Cianjur Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). Golkar, which won 10 seats in the 2024 legislative election, is the only party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming a coalition with other parties. Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Cianjur's case corresponds to 119,118 copies. According to the General Elections Commission (KPU), two candidates expressed interest and consulted with KPU, but neither registered prior to the provided deadline.

The incumbent regent, Herman Suherman, has been elected to one full term (2021–2024) and served as a replacement regent for two and a half years prior (2018–2021). Following a 2023 ruling by the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, he was ineligible to run for a second full term.
