Legislative elections are scheduled in Taiwan on 13 January 2024 for the Legislative Yuan concurrently with the presidential elections.[1][2] This election will be the fifth to use the mixed electoral system after it was introduced to legislative elections. The term of the Legislative Yuan is scheduled to begin on 1 February 2024.
Electoral system
Members were elected by parallel voting. 73 members were elected by first-past-the-post, 6 reserved for indigenous candidates by single non-transferable vote, and 34 by party-list proportional representation.
Contesting parties and candidates
A total of 315 candidates registered for first-past-the-post seats in the 2024 legislative election.[3] Sixteen political parties submitted party lists to the Central Election Commission (CEC). A total of 178 nominees were included on party lists.[4] On 15 December 2023, the CEC announced that six first-past-the post candidates, one candidate running for a reserved indigenous seat, and one party list candidate, were ineligible.[5] The campaign period officially started on 16 December 2023.[6]
