[周刊王CTWANT] The 2024 presidential and legislative elections will be held today (13th). Many international media arrived in Taiwan early to report on the election news. However, many foreign media have found that Taiwan’s voting and counting model is too traditional. For those who need to return home to vote and who cannot vote in advance , and even the inability to vote electronically made foreign media think that the model is too backward.
Foreign media pointed out the inability to vote electronically, the need to take a ride back home to vote, and manual counting of votes, etc., which are all quite outdated. (Photo/Photo by CTWANT)
The Taiwan election has attracted international attention and is also the first election in the world in 2024. Many foreign media have entered Taiwan early to report election news, whether from the perspective of candidates or the public, including CNN, NHK, Yomiuri News, YTN, Peninsula News, etc. However, these foreign media found that Taiwan’s voting method was too traditional, so they also reported on this part.
“CNN” believes that Taiwan’s voting method is too backward. Overseas citizens with voting rights must return to Taiwan before voting. Many people also have to hitchhike back to their hometowns to travel between the north and the south in order to vote. South Korean media “YTN” also pointed out in the news program that it is very rare for Taiwan’s presidential and legislative elections to be held in one day. For a technological country, such a voting method is completely inconsistent with modern technology.
In addition to having to return to your place of residence to vote, there is no advance voting system like South Korea and the United States, which allows people who have something to do on the day of the election to vote early. Even overseas people are unable to vote online or vote at embassies and consulates, all of which have been discussed one by one.
However, Korean political commentators also believe that Taiwan has not yet been able to adopt electronic voting methods and manual counting of votes. This may be to prevent electoral fraud. Therefore, there is no way to develop electronic voting or vote without returning home, and overseas , advance voting and other systems.
