Attention little water droplets! 11/28 Wear "Ocean Current Ribbon" to enter the voting booth, the most important issue is 2 years

With the countdown to the nine-in-one election, the chairman of the Central Election Committee, You Yinglong, held a "Report to the People" press conference today. Faced with the recent "Ocean Current" craze set off by the Taipei Mayoral Candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, wearing ocean current streamers and small items has become a habit of Green Camp supporters. However, if you wear related jewelry on November 28, the voting day, it may violate the "election and recall law." The Central Election Commission reminded today that if you refuse to stop on the day, the maximum penalty is imprisonment of not more than 2 years, short-term detention, or a fine of not more than NT$200,000.

The Central Election Commission pointed out that on the polling day, the "Public Officials Election and Recall Act" stipulates that no actions may be taken to support the election. If you wear streamers, campaign souvenirs, etc. in the polling station, it will involve the provisions of Article 65 of the "Election and Recall Law". In the polling station, you cannot wear clothes or numbers related to the political party or candidate, or anything that can commend the candidate's identity.

The Central Election Commission stated that if there is a violation of the above regulations, usually the polling station staff will first take action to stop them. If they do not obey, then there will be the issue of criminal penalties under Article 105 of the "Election and Recall Law". The maximum penalty is imprisonment of not more than 2 years, short-term detention, or a fine of not more than NT$200,000.
