inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Member of the General Election Commission August Mellaz says the debate for the 2024 Regional Head Election for provincial and city level will be held three times.

“As was regulated in Law number 19 regarding public debate or open debate between election candidates. According to the law, regional election campaign debates were held at most three times," said Member Mellaz on Friday (8/2/2024).

On the other hand, Mellaz highlights that the previous election had some problems, such as inadequate infrastructure and other needs that are relatively non-uniform. Even so, regional election debates are prioritized to be held in each province or district/city where the regional elections are held.

Moreover, the debates for regional head candidates will be fully organized by the Provincial General Election Commission that held the election.

“Regarding the schedules, it will be scheduled by your respective General Election Commission office,” said Mellaz.
