In the province of Taiwan, the government started to carry out a provincial self-government policy in 1949. Last year five local elections, the biggest of their kind in the Republic of China in the last two decades, were held simultaneously.
競選活動一共有十天，在這十天中，全台灣近二千位候選人，為了角逐一千三百多個席位，無不使出渾身解數，全力以赴。這麼多的候選人，加上他們聲勢浩大的助選團，又輔以各種宣傳品、宣傳車，以及每天都在各地舉行的公辦、私辦政見發表會，使得情況熱鬧非凡，競爭自亦極其激烈。
