The four ballot counts behind Taiwan’s 2024 legislative election

Taiwan’s 113 Legislative Yuan seats came from three electoral routes in 2024. There were 73 single-member district seats, six Indigenous seats split across two constituencies, and 34 national party-list seats. The election commission reports separate counts and turnout rates for the ballots used in each route.

The district and party ballots fill separate seats

The election rules provide one seat per single-member district and a separate national party ballot for the 34 at-large seats. The national party vote determines the proportional allocation within the at-large tier. A party’s share on that ballot therefore applies to only one part of the chamber’s seat allocation.

The Indigenous tier contains two three-seat constituencies

The lowland and highland Indigenous constituencies elect three members each. The commission reports separate electorates and ballot counts for the two. The highland constituency recorded 64.32% turnout and the lowland constituency 58.25%. Each uses its own electorate. Source 1 Source 2

The two largest ballot counts overlap

The commission records 13,717,893 district ballots and 14,044,052 national party-list ballots. The election rules permit a constituency vote and a party vote, so these are not separate populations to be added. Valid and invalid ballot counts reconcile to the number cast for each row.

A majority required 57 seats

The commission records 52 seats for the Kuomintang, 51 for the Democratic Progressive Party, eight for the Taiwan People’s Party and two for candidates without a party. None individually reached 57. These are overall totals across the 113 seats. The turnout chart compares ballots rather than party performance. Source 1 Source 3
