As with the 1991 National Assembly election, television was again opened up for the campaign, although whereas it the National Assembly election parties had to put forward ten candidates before they were allotted a proportion of time, this time the threshold was lowered to five candidates. The KMT, DPP, China Social Democratic Party and the Truth Party were all allotted broadcast time.
二屆立委選舉繼前年國民大會代表選舉後，再次開放政黨使用電視競選。和上回國代選舉政黨須推薦十位候選人才能分配到時段使用時間相較，本次門檻降低為五位，因此有包括國民黨、民進黨、社民黨、真理黨等四個政黨分配到廣告時間。
