Twenty six local executive elections were held in Indonesia throughout 2025 as repeat elections following the 2024 local elections. The elections included one gubernatorial election for Papua, four mayoral elections, and 21 regency elections. Some of the repeat elections are only to be held in a limited number of polling stations (TPS) or districts.
Background The Constitutional Court of Indonesia received over 300 lawsuits in the aftermath of the 2024 Indonesian local elections, and in 24 cases, the court ordered a repeat election. Candidates of the elections remained the same as with 2024 in partial repeat elections. However, 9 candidates were disqualified for various reasons by the Constitutional Court, and will not be on the ballot in 2025.
Additionally, the Indonesian electoral law mandated the holding of repeat elections in the event a candidate running as a single candidate failed to secure more than half the valid votes against a "blank box" option. In 2024, two such elections occurred: in Pangkalpinang and in Bangka Regency, leading to repeat elections for the two regions scheduled for 27 August 2025.
