The 2022 Taiwanese legislative by-election will be held on 9 January 2022 in Taiwan to elect one member of the Legislative Yuan for the remaining term until 2024.
In the 2020 Taiwanese legislative election, Chen Po-wei became the first member of the Taiwan Statebuilding Party to be elected to the Legislative Yuan. [1] He narrowly defeated the incumbent Kuomintang legislator Yen Kuan-heng by 2.30 percentage points. [2] Shortly after Chen was sworn in, some pan-Blue politicians (most notably the New Party in June 2020) called for Chen to be recalled, with media sources frequently portraying it revenge for the recall of former Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu. [3]
On 8 February 2021, a recall effort led by Yang Wen-yuan officially proposed a recall motion against Chen. [4] Under Article 76 of the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act, a proposal passes into the second stage with the number of proposers totaling at least 1% of the electorate. [5] On 5 March 2021, the Central Election Commission announced that the proposal threshold of 2,912 proposers had been met with 3,744 valid proposers. [6] The second stage, which requires joint signers of the proposal to exceed 10% of the electorate (29,113 signatures), was met with 36,073 valid signatures; the recall vote was formally established on 2 July 2021. [7] The CEC originally planned for a recall vote on 28 August 2021, but postponed it to 23 October 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [8] Chen was successfully recalled, with 77,899 votes in favor, exceeding both the required 25% threshold of 73,744 votes and the 73,433 votes against. [9] Chen became the first legislator to have been recalled. [10] On 28 October 2021, the CEC announced that the by-election to replace Chen would be held on 9 January 2022. Candidate registrations were open from 15 to 19 November 2021. [11]
Will be voted on 9 January 2022.
