In response to the 2026 local civil servant elections, the Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office officially launched the "Election Inspection Contact Center" today (27th). It adopts a 24-hour rotating mechanism to accept reports from the public around the clock. It integrates the power of prosecutors, police, investigators, integrity and immigration agencies to immediately investigate and handle illegal activities such as vote bribery, violent election, and election betting.

The Hsinchu District Prosecutor's Office stated that if the public discovers suspected vote bribery or other interference with the election, they can call the 24-hour toll-free reporting hotline 0800-024-099 and press 4 after being connected. They can also report directly to prosecutors, police or investigation agencies. To facilitate follow-up verification, the public can provide the time, place, relevant personnel, events and sources of information as much as possible. If there are photos, videos, conversation records or suspected money transaction information, they can also be kept for reference by investigators.

After the contact center receives the intelligence information, the on-duty staff will record the relevant information in detail. Depending on whether the illegal behavior continues and the urgency of the case, immediate notification and coordination will be carried out to seize the opportunity to collect evidence. Reporters do not need to conduct their own investigations or take risks to collect evidence. They should prioritize ensuring their own safety and submit the information they have to the prosecutors for verification in accordance with the law.

The prosecutor emphasized that the identity of the reporter and the information sufficient to identify him will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with the law, and the case will be investigated and handled in accordance with the principles of objectivity, impartiality, and no negligence, and the investigation will not be made public.

The Hsinchu District Prosecutor’s Office calls on elections to win recognition through political opinions and win support through service, and not to use money, benefits or other illegal means to influence the will of voters. If the public discovers anything suspicious, please make good use of the reporting hotline to provide clues and work together to protect the fairness of the election and every vote.
