The General Elections Commission (KPU) emphasized that the grand campaign or general meeting was abolished in the 2024 Pilkada re-voting (PSU) process in 24 regions. This policy was taken to support the principle of budget efficiency.
"For this general meeting campaign, it was abolished because it paid attention to the principle of efficiency," said KPU member Idham Holik.
Although the grand campaign was abolished at the 2024 Pilkada PSU, the KPU still allowed political parties or coalitions of political parties to finance other campaign methods, such as limited meetings, face-to-face and dialogue, the distribution of campaign materials and the installation of props.
"Other activities that do not violate the ban on campaigns and statutory provisions are still allowed," added Idham.
In addition, an open debate will still be held to provide opportunities for prospective couples to convey their vision and mission and flagship programs before the 2024 Pilkada PSU takes place. This debate will only be held once while still considering budget efficiency.

"Based on the schedule set by the regional KPU, this is the last day for candidate pairs to register or replace the disqualified candidates," he concluded regarding the 2024 Pilkada PSU.
