九合一选举将至,各候选人竞相举办竞选活动造势,部分活动车队绵延不绝影响交通,活动主舞台也占用部分路权。立法院今日邀请行政院长卓荣泰继续进行施政报告,并备质询,相关部会官员亦列席备询。
九合一選舉將至,各候選人競相舉辦競選活動造勢,不過,部分活動車隊綿延不絕影響交通,活動主舞台也佔用部分路權,民進黨立委吳秉叡認為已衝擊民眾日常生活,連他日常通勤都受影響,呼籲開放中正紀念堂、國父紀念堂等大型公共場館;對此,中選會主委游盈隆則樂見台灣民主更好、更多姿多彩,認為應鬆綁民主活動的空間限制。
立法院今(10)日邀請行政院長卓榮泰繼續進行施政報告、並備質詢,相關部會官員亦列席備詢。
民進黨立委吳秉叡表示,今年恰逢選舉年,各政黨候選人競相舉辦大型造勢活動,但場地難尋經常辦在馬路上,像是行政院週邊的北平東路、林森南北路,這種活動不僅容易導致交通阻塞、參加的選民長時間「罰站」還看不到舞台,更佔去大量警力,反問若選舉是「國家辦喜事」,是否能考慮在選前2至3個月開放中正紀念堂、國父紀念館等場館給選舉活動使用?
對此,行政院長卓榮泰坦言這是「不錯的想法」;文化部長李遠說,他印象中這些場地早期是可以用於政治活動的,只是有人抗議加上這項限制,若各界有共識,文化部願意配合推行相關修法;中選會主委游盈隆則「心有戚戚焉」稱,民主是台灣的驕傲,若台灣民主能更好、更有活力、生命力並多姿多彩,對台灣是一個非常好的事情,認為民主活動的空間限制可以檢討。
吳秉叡追問現行選舉投票日定在週六,能讓開票人員在週日休息一天,但他聽聞許多選民反應週六仍要上班,影響投票意願,建議將投票日改至週日,並配套實施「投票日隔天放假」,兼顧週六上班族投票權,以及投、開票人員與返鄉民眾的休息時間。卓榮泰回覆,週六投票已行之有年,若改週日投票則需考量民眾宗教活動、生活習慣及產業連假的影響,不過,只要是有助於提高投票率、鼓勵全民參與的倡議,政府都會持開放態度審慎考慮。

More than 55% of voters have no opinion on his suitability to serve as mayor.
