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.

Pangkalpinang and in
Bangka Regency, leading to repeat elections for the two regions scheduled for 27 August 2025.
