Taiwan 2024 Election: Regulations on Polling Data Disclosure – Up to NT$2 Million Fine for Violators

Yenni C., January 2, 2024January 14, 2024

As the 2024 presidential election in Taiwan approaches, it is crucial for all residents to be aware of specific regulations and guidelines to ensure a fair and lawful electoral process. The Central Election Commission (CEC) has issued directives regarding the dissemination and discussion of polling data in the days leading up to the voting day.

From January 3rd 2024, until the polling booths close, the publication, reporting, distribution, commentary, or citation of any polling data related to candidates or the election is strictly prohibited. Violations of this regulation may result in fines ranging from NT$100,000 to NT$1,000,000. Political parties and candidates face even more severe penalties, with fines potentially reaching up to NT$2,000,000.

It is essential for everyone to understand that these regulations have been amended under the revised Presidential and Vice Presidential Election and Recall Act (Article 52) and the Public Officials Election and Recall Act (Article 53). The amendments now specify different penalties based on the violator, emphasizing a clear distinction in the upper and lower limits of fines.

The CEC emphasizes that these regulations apply not only to traditional media outlets but also extend to online platforms, community bulletin boards, and even activities such as using loudspeakers along the streets. Any form of discussion, disclosure, distribution, commentary, or citation of polling data regarding candidates or the election is considered a violation of the law, starting ten days before the voting day.

To ensure a smooth and lawful electoral process, residents in Taiwan are strongly advised to adhere to these guidelines and refrain from engaging in any activities that may violate the regulations outlined by the CEC. By doing so, we can contribute to the integrity and fairness of the 2024 presidential election in Taiwan.
