高雄縣、市合併後共舉行過四屆市長選舉與一次市長補選,第1屆3人競逐、第2屆2位,第3與第4屆各4人,補選則有3人,第5屆5人登記是合併後最多。
15個議員選區應選65席次、共有101人登記,最特別的是6選區(旗津鼓山鹽埕)應選4席、僅4席現任議員登記拚連任、沒有任何挑戰者,是高市議員選戰首次「同額」。
選委會指出,里長同額1票就當選,但議員不一樣,依據公職人員選舉罷免法第70條規定,當候選人數未超過或不足該選區應選名額時(即同額選舉),縣市議員、鄉鎮市民代表等地方民意代表,必須通過最低當選票數門檻。
最低票數門檻為該選舉區應選出名額、除該選舉區選舉人總數所得商數的10%,以六選區2022選舉為例,當時總選舉人數為153513人、應選4席,153513除以4的商數為38373,再乘以10%為「3837」,就是上回選舉如果同額的最低得票門檻。
此外,10選區(小港前鎮應選7席)13人登記最多,其次為4選區(左營楠梓應選9席)與7選區(三民應選8席)各有12人登記,9選區(鳳山應選8席)則有10人登記,最高齡參選人為3選區83歲阿嬤蔣黃女,最年輕參選人為4選區30歲的陳冠宇。

Chiang Deli, the eldest son of Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, was admitted to the Taipei City Education Bureau's international exchange student program and was originally eligible for a 75,000 yuan subsidy, triggering a controversy over identity disclosure under the conflict of interest avoidance law. The Beijing Municipal Government claims that the application materials have disclosed the father-son relationship, but in accordance with Article 26 of the Enforcement Rules of the Lichong Law, information such as the name of the public official, service agency, and professional title must be stated to truly indicate the identity relationship. The Education Bureau application form does not have additional relevant fields, and whether the actual content submitted still needs to be reviewed to see if it complies with the regulations.

Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama clarified that U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent did not ask "why the Bank of Japan does not have independence" when visiting Japan for dinner in May, which is inconsistent with previous reports by the New York Times.

Reuters quoted sources as saying that Chinese President Xi Jinping is preparing to lead a large business delegation to visit Washington to prepare for the Trump-Xi meeting on September 24. The move is intended to demonstrate China's willingness to support U.S.-China investment and business ties and provide the White House with potential economic gains ahead of the midterm elections. Since the tightening of regulations in 2020, corporate executives have rarely traveled with Xi Jinping. The last time Xi Jinping led a delegation to the United States was in 2015. At that time, Boeing received US$38 billion in orders and met with senior executives of technology giants such as Apple, Meta, and Amazon.
