[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Recently, social media platforms have circulated information such as "The 2021 referendum is being voted on. Some people bring multiple different "fake ID cards" and "stamped ballot papers" to vote repeatedly, and the electoral list is also faked."

After checking, the fact-checking organization pointed out that the rumors did not provide evidence to support the rumors, and the various methods stated were not reasonable in the actual election, which was wrong information.

The "Fact Checking Report" released by the "TFC Taiwan Fact Checking Center" today (24th) pointed out that since the 21st, social platforms have circulated: "20221126 key points of voting... 20211218 The four major referendum voting methods are young people, and Middle-aged people bring multiple different "fake ID cards" and "stamped ballot papers" to vote repeatedly", "The voters bring out the original KMT ballots, and at the exit, the poll inspectors in Chuantang must check whether they are thin Thin people go in, fat people come out", "If the ballot box is a cardboard box, only the first voter (whose household registration is located in this polling station) can reach out to check the ballot box! The DPP may have sent pegs to line up early! " and other messages.

Regarding "repetitive voting with multiple fake ID cards", the inspection center consulted Huang Yaozhang, deputy director general of the Election Committee of New Taipei City. He said that the list of electors is compiled and printed by the household registration office, and has a certain format. If it is not through the household registration office The system is generated, and the roster is difficult to be exactly the same.

In addition, in order to avoid voting with fake identities, administrators will check their identities at the gate of the polling office. When collecting votes, they will also compare their ID cards with the list of electors.

In addition, the Inspection Center asked Huang Yaozhang, deputy director-general of the Election Committee of New Taipei City. He pointed out that the rumored method of making votes was "ballot swapping". There is a large stack of ballots, and the ballots cannot be taken out.

After entering the ballot counting process, the ballots are checked out one by one. The process is also supervised by the public, candidate scrutineers, and the media. It is unreasonable to say that the ballots are changed.

Finally, regarding "only the first voter can reach out to check the ballot box", the Election Committee of New Taipei City stated that the check of the ballot is jointly carried out by the chief administrator and the chief inspector, and the empty votes will be shown to the public and the inspector during the inspection , and a seal on the bottom of the paper ticket, but the current practice does not include asking people to reach out to check the ticket.

Based on the above conclusions, the Inspection Center concluded that the rumors claim that there will be voting in the 2021 referendum, but there is no evidence to support it, and the various methods stated are not reasonable in the actual election, so it is wrong information.
