Huang Hanhuang, a candidate for mayor of Xixiang township in the Kuomintang line, was suspected of buying votes from voters with raw toast worth 150 to 180 yuan. The prosecutor arrested Huang Hanhuang on the 12th and notified more than 20 voters to report to the case. After the interrogation, Huang Hanhuang requested to be detained. In addition, Xianxixiang acting candidate Huang Qingchang used bedding and other supplies worth thousands of dollars to buy votes from many voters, and was also denounced.

The Changhua District Prosecutor's Office yesterday directed the Changhua Branch of the Changhua County Police Department, the Changhua County Investigation Station, and the Changhua County Criminal Investigation Team to arrest the defendant Huang Hanhuang, and notified more than 20 relevant voters and witnesses to appear in court to explain that the defendant Huang Hanhuang was involved in a serious crime of voting bribery under the Public Employee Election and Recall Law and that there was a risk of colluding with accomplices and witnesses. Recognizing the need for detention, he applied to the Changhua District Court for detention, and the remaining voters and witnesses were asked to return.

In addition, the prosecutor also found that Huang Qingchang, the candidate for Xixiang Village Representative, used bedding, cushions, clothes and other daily necessities worth thousands of dollars to buy votes from voters with the right to vote under the guise of temple activities in March and April this year. The Changhua District Prosecutor’s Office prosecutor directed the Taichung City Investigation Division, Taichung City Police Department and Changhua County Police Department Lukang Branch to notify yesterday The defendant Huang Qingchang and nearly 10 related voters and witnesses came to court to explain that the defendant was involved in a serious crime of bribery in voting under the Public Employee Election and Recall Law and that he was in danger of colluding with accomplices and witnesses. He believed that detention was necessary and was arrested in court. He petitioned the Changhua District Court in Taiwan for detention. Except for another accomplice named Yan who posted a bail of NT$80,000, all other voters and witnesses were asked to return.
