Of course you have to vote!

The polling stations in Tainan are hot and cold; some have long queues of more than 100 meters in the morning, some are scattered, and even "wait for people". After about 11:30 noon, the voting crowd is almost astigmatized. The next wave of voting crowds in the afternoon is unknown.

Ms. Xu said that she felt that very few people came out to vote today, and she did not see the excitement of previous local elections.

Mrs. He said that she didn't think that there were few voters or that there was a long queue before. It should be that there were enough election staff to guide and complete the voting process quickly.

Ms. Hong believes that the ballots for councilors and referendums are both white, and there is no difference in color, and the color of the ballot box is not obvious, so it is easy to cast the wrong ballot box. Bring out the grassroots new blood to join the ranks of election affairs.

Mr. Chen said that in a democratic and free society in Taiwan, people used to have a high turnout rate in elections in the past, but as democratic ideas gradually mature, "rationality replaces enthusiasm", and they may be less likely to be incited by politicians. The low turnout rate is predictable.

Voting in today's election, some polling stations have implemented anti-epidemic measures such as taking body temperature and spraying alcohol.
