Municipal Council seats and nomination plans

I’m planning to put a lot of info about the city council elections on this blog.  I might not always comment on that info.  Mostly I’m just trying to put a lot of info in one place so that I will be able to find it when I look for it in the future.  If someone else wants to know these things, so much the better.

The following table includes the 2010 city council districts and how many seats will be elected from each.  If I understand the Election and Recall Law correctly, one seat in every four is guaranteed to go to a female.  That is, if there are 4-7 seats, at least one of the winners must be a woman; if there are 8-11 seats, at least two winners must be women; and so on.

Note that there are 3 one-seat districts for Mountain Aborigines in Kaohsiung rather than 1 three-seat district.  This is done to help insure that different tribes get a representative.  Maolin is mostly Rukai; Taoyuan is heavily Bunun, and Namaxia is mixed Bunun and Tsou.  In particular, the Rukai population is very small, and they probably wouldn’t be able to elect a Rukai representative in a three-seat district.  As it is, I wonder if there are enough non-Rukai mountain aborigines in the 11 other townships in the district to elect a non-Rukai member.

This table shows how many candidates each party plans to nominate in each city council district.  The DPP plans are taken from an official press release posted on the party website.  The KMT plans for Taipei City, Taichung City, and Kaohsiung City are from the Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung party branch websites, respectively.   The PFP plans were referenced in a news story and are less authoritative.  I have not found any information on TSU or New Party nomination plans yet.

The KMT Taipei City document made no reference to nominations reserved for women, but that is not an indication that they have no plans to do so.  The DPP did not reserve any spots for women in the former Taichung County.  I am not sure if this is accurate or an oversight in the document.

I will update this table as I get new information. (Last updated: June 21)

I’m also giving each district a shortened name.  Usually this is the township or district with the largest population in the election district.
