In a few days, it will be the voting day for the president and legislators. I believe everyone is familiar with who the president is and what his political views are, but not necessarily for the legislators. Many people even don’t know which candidates are in the area where they live. After all, there are too many people and it is difficult to see relevant information in newspapers. This article will introduce a very good “pre-election post” website, which organizes all the campaign information of regional legislators and non-district legislator candidates in Taiwan, so that you can easily and quickly understand and cast this sacred vote with a basis.
Big post-election introduction
The pre-election post is a website produced by the g0v zero-hour government team. All content comes from the Legislative Yuan, the Central Election Commission, the Supervisory Yuan Sunshine Decree, the Facebook Ad Archives, Wikipedia, and the open materials of the Citizens’ Alliance to Oversight Congress.
After clicking on me to enter the website, you will see two options: “Look at regional legislators” and “Look at non-regional legislators.” If you are not familiar with the work of legislators, or have questions about why you need to vote for two votes, you can click on the link below to watch the video introduction:
Let’s first look at the candidates for regional legislators. They are available in all counties and cities in Taiwan. It depends on which city you want to check. I’ll take Taipei City as an example. In addition, let me explain first that the examples given below are just for this introductory article and do not have any recommendations or political connotations:
After entering Taipei City, select your constituency:
Then you can see which legislative candidates are available where you live. The picture below shows the first electoral district in Taipei City (Beitou District, Shilin District). If it is a current legislator, it will be marked current in the upper left corner. Below each candidate is written which party:
After clicking on the candidate you want to view, you will see relevant information (it may be different for each person). For the person in the picture below, there are two options: campaign strength and political views over the years. In the campaign strength, the ad placement status of past FB fan pages will be displayed:
The average cost of a post, the situation and amount of each post, etc. The information is very detailed:
In addition, there is the status of political cash accounts:
Comparison with other legislators:
In the political views menu over the years, you can view the education/experience of this legislative candidate:

Some legislative candidates have rich internal pages, like the one below, which also includes issue bills and legislator performance:
On the inner page of the legislator’s performance, you can see how many bills the legislator has proposed in the past:
The number of questions, the main topics, and the attendance rate can be used to quickly judge the status of the candidate as a legislator:
For political parties that do not participate in elections by division, they will be classified according to party:
If you feel that reading them one by one is a bit confusing, there is also a function to search and view by topic below:
In terms of labor force, these legislative candidates are the most concerned. The larger the circle, the more bill proposals + the number of questions:
Therefore, with this website, even if there are only three days left, I believe you can quickly know where you live and which legislative candidates are worthy of casting your vote.
