At the ballot counting office of Lunping Elementary School in Guanyin District, Taoyuan City, there was more than one case of torn and damaged ballots at 9 am. A 40-year-old woman surnamed Liao, who is Chinese but has been naturalized in Taiwan, received the ballots and circled them. The three ballots of the city councilor and the mayor were torn up, and the election officials confirmed that she was involved in Article 110, paragraph 8, of the "Public Official Election and Recall Law", and instructed to take Ms. Liao back to the Singapore Police Station to make a record before releasing her. It is reported that Ms. Liao did not tear up the ballot papers on purpose. Because she voted for the first time and was not familiar with the process, she mistakenly thought that after the circle was completed, the column of the circled candidates would be "teared off" and put into the ballot box.
