九合一選舉倒數17天,台中市選委會今公布選舉人數,台中市長選舉人數為237萬6919人、市議員選舉人數236萬9254人,首投族人數達7萬7228人,全市共設置1980處投開票所,較前次第11屆立法委員選舉的1902處,增加78處,共動員2萬8064名選務人員。
台中市選委會主委黃崇典指出,台中市市長選舉共有3名候選人,市議員選舉則劃分17個選區,共101人角逐65席議員席次。
各項選舉人數出爐,黃崇典指出,其中市長選舉人數為237萬6919人、市議員選舉人數236萬9254人,首投族人數達7萬7228人;另全國性公民投票第22案投票權人數為243萬2344人。
黃崇典指出,全市共設置1980處投開票所,較前次第11屆立法委員選舉的1902處,增加78處,其中以台中市人口最大的行政區北屯區最多,設219處投開票所,中區最少、設13個,動員2萬8064名選務人員,均已招募到位培訓。
去年大罷免時,被不少民眾爆料台中出現多處「怪奇」投開票所,包括在民眾住家車庫、廢棄車廠,甚至還有葬儀社,讓民眾罵爆,今年投開票所數又增加,投開票所選擇又引起關注。
黃崇典強調,投開票所設置均廣泛聽取各界意見,並持續檢討精進,但部分地區受限於場地條件、交通距離及投票便利性等因素,仍須協調借用民宅或私人場所作為投開票所,選務單位將盡力克服困難,妥善完成各項規劃。
台中市選委會指出,今年選擇投開票所原則會要求「不完全搭棚」的空間,也就是須在建物裡設置,不會出現公園投開票所,若空間不足才可再往搭蓬延伸。
選委會提醒,今年11月28日投票共會領到市長、市議員、里長及公投共4張選票。

The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus accused He Xinchun's husband, Xie Junxiong, of providing a 15% kickback for winning the design and construction supervision bid for the Nagu Pagoda in Shengang Township, Changhua. The He camp clarified that the bribe seeker was Zeng Huanzhang, the township head of the Kuomintang. The case has been settled in 2022, and legal action has not been ruled out.

Non-party legislator Gao Jin Sumei was indicted in the Communist espionage case. His "big accountant" Zhang Junjie exchanged secret letters with Wang Xiaobing, the former deputy secretary-general of the China Association for Relations Across the Sea, and part of the text was consistent with the contents of Gao Jin's parliamentary inquiry. On March 4, 2024, when DPP legislator Shen Boyang reviewed the Kinmen "214 Kinmen ship collision incident" special report at the Internal Affairs Committee of the Legislative Yuan, he questioned that the use of the word "ship collision" was in line with China's narrative and legal framework and was very dangerous to Taiwan. At that time, Gao Jin Sumei immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction. Now that the video has been uncovered, netizens call Shen Boyang a "prophet" and "expert".

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan will take leave from tomorrow to join the election campaign. He responded to KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen's election campaign statement of "eating sugar cane" and said that she would follow the existing steps to win public support.

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan said that the split between Blue and White in 2024 resulted in the Democratic Progressive Party being elected in a minority, so the 2026 general election must be "a must for Blue and White." She served as the general chairperson of the Jiang Wanan Competition, strongly promoting the blue and white cooperation between Taipei and Taichung, and hoped that it would blossom across the country.

The third session of the current Legislative Yuan was postponed to August 31 for a total of 211 days, setting a record for the longest period since 2012. The Public Supervisory Alliance pointed out that during the postponement of the session, the number of days for legislators' inspections exceeded the number of committee meeting days, and the cost of inspections increased by about 210,000 yuan compared with the previous year, questioning the true purpose of Blue and White's frequent postponements. The Legislative Yuan responded that all expenses were written off in accordance with regulations, and some expenses such as water and electricity bills and overtime pay were reduced.
