Indonesia began electing regional leaders through direct elections in 2005, and between 2015 and 2020, all regional elections held in the year were held at the same date.^[4] In 2016, a law was passed which made all regional elections starting in 2024 to be held on the same date. As a consequence, regional leaders elected in 2017 and 2018 would be replaced by appointed officials after the end of their term until the 2024 elections are held.^[5] On the other hand, regional leaders elected in 2020 would only serve for less than a full five-year term, ranging from three to four years.^[6] On 24 January 2022, the House of Representatives agreed to set the date of the 2024 local elections at 27 November 2024.^[7]

The elections are regulated by the Law No. 10 of 2016 on local elections.^[8]

All candidates are required to be, at minimum, graduates of senior high school or equivalent. Any approved candidates are required to resign from certain government positions, including legislative offices, Armed Forces/Police positions, civil servants, and employees of state-owned companies. The minimum age is 30 for gubernatorial candidates and 25 for mayor/regent candidates.^[11] Candidates can either run as an independent or a party-backed candidate - in the latter case, the candidate is required to secure the formal support of a party or a coalition of parties which collectively hold at least 20 percent of seats in the relevant Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) or 25 percent of votes in the 2024 legislative election in the area.^[12][13] Independent candidates are required to submit photocopies of identity cards as proof of support, numbering between 6.5 to 10 percent of the registered electorate in a given region.^[14]

All the 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. In prior elections, the gubernatorial election for Jakarta requires a runoff should no candidates achieve a simple majority, but this runoff requirement has been removed for the 2024 election.^[15] 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.^[16]
