苗栗公館鄉長何在鑫不選連任 改由妻子葉美惠代夫出征 地方發起投廢票行動

Quick Look

苗栗縣公館鄉長何在鑫宣佈不尋求連任,改由妻子葉美惠以同額選舉方式參選,引發地方不滿與投廢票行動。根據公職人員選舉罷免法第70條,同額選舉需獲得選舉人數20%票數(約5240票)才能當選,否則將重新辦理補選。

苗栗縣公館鄉長何在鑫未尋求連任,改由妻子葉美惠「代夫出征」同額選舉,讓公館鄉親感到驚訝與錯愕,雖何在鑫強調將夫妻攜手服務,但地方也出現不滿聲音,發起「投廢票」行動,訴求「拒絕唯一指定」。

依《公職人員選舉罷免法》第70條規定,鄉鎮市長選舉為同額選舉時,候選人的得票數應達選舉人總數20%,始為當選。意即鄉鎮市長選舉若為同額選舉,並非「躺著就能當選」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

何在鑫對於未尋求連任公館鄉長,改由妻子葉美惠同額選舉之原因,於5日在臉書說明,強調他已65歲,決定校正回歸自己的生涯規劃,但因他的政見、政策有些還未完成,需要再4年來執行,所以讓他的太太葉美惠出馬參選,未來將夫妻攜手、保持初衷,一人當選二人服務,並肩為接下來的4年打造更美好的公館。

何在鑫的說明,未能讓全體公館鄉親信服,地方也出現不滿聲音,發起「投廢票」行動,昨起在地方臉書社團及LINE群組流傳。

有網友在臉書社團「苗栗公館好所在」發文分享,「大家都以為這次鄉長只有一個人選『是穩上的』,其實錯了!依規定,他必須拿到 20% 的票數(也就是 5,240票)才能當選。也就是說,只要我們 11/28 願意出門投『空白票(廢票)』,讓他達不到門檻,就會重新辦理補選!」

該篇發文強調「拒絕唯一指定,我們自己的鄉長自己選!11/28 拜託大家一定要出門投票(不蓋章或蓋在空白處),也請幫忙把圖傳給親朋好友,展現我們公館人的骨氣!」
