With the countdown to the nine-in-one election, Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party has set off the "Ocean Current" craze. Wearing Ocean Current streamers and small items has become a habit of Green Camp supporters. However, if you wear related accessories and enter the polling station on voting day, you may violate the "Election and Strike Out Law". Shen Boyang said today (13th) that it is not recommended to include Puma clothes. Supporters are asked not to bring symbols on the day. Although it may not break the law, it may also cause conflicts and disputes.
Shen Boyang said that many people had mentioned Puma clothes before, and actually had similar concerns about streamers. At that time, he appealed that maybe Puma clothes were not recommended to be worn to vote. Although it is reasonable to say that it is just a brand, after all, his nickname is Puma, and the streamers also have the word "foreign" on them, so I hope everyone must remember not to bring any symbols on the voting day. Wear a little more elegantly, which will be less problematic.
He said that of course this would not necessarily break the law, but he had also warned before that if you wear ribbons or anything with some symbol, it might cause conflicts. Even if it is deemed legal by then, it will also cause some controversy and conflicts on the day. This is something that no one wants to happen on the day of voting.
In response to yesterday's expanded campaign meeting, Shen Boyang said that the grassroots level is still very important at the last moment. In the end, everyone was discussing how to reach more people at the grassroots level and scheduling the last few activities. The next step is to follow the plan until the last day.
