(CNA Reporter Lai Yu-chen, Taipei 15th) Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairman You Ying-lung chaired a CEC committee meeting today. During the meeting, the committee reviewed and approved the public official candidate asset declaration system, which will go online on August 27, the day the candidate registration is announced. He expressed his hope that the "nine-in-one" local elections on November 28 will proceed smoothly.
The CEC pointed out through a press release this afternoon that while chairing the meeting, You Ying-lung noted this was the first committee meeting convened since he took office. With high public attention, he thanked the committee members for attending, allowing the meeting to proceed smoothly after a six-month hiatus.
You pointed out that there are less than six and a half months until the voting day for the nine-in-one local elections this year. The CEC must race against time, and he hopes that with the assistance of the CEC committee members, the year-end general election will pass smoothly, creating another success for the CEC.
According to the Organic Act of the Central Election Commission, committee meetings are held once a month, and provisional meetings can be convened when necessary, all chaired by the Chairman. Matters requiring committee resolution include the enactment, amendment, and abolition of regulations related to elections, recalls, and referendums; announcements of various elections, recalls, and referendums; and the handling of illegal penalty cases and major dispute cases.
This committee meeting decided that public hearings should be held to listen to public opinions before setting the deposit amount for candidates in this year's local public official elections. It also reviewed and approved that the public official candidate asset declaration system will officially go online on August 27, the day the candidate registration is announced, to facilitate candidates' asset declaration processes.
You Ying-lung stated that today's committee meeting successfully handled retrospective approvals or discussion items that had not been addressed in the past. Through brainstorming and full discussion, the resulting decisions reflect diverse opinions, making the decision-making process more comprehensive and mature. (Editor: Hsieh Chia-chen) 1150515
