Taiwan: Recall against legislator scheduled for October 23

The recall election against Taiwan Legislator Chen Po-Wei (pro-independence Taiwan Statebuilding Party) is scheduled for October 23 -- a delay from August 28 due to the Covid pandemic.

Petitioners handed in 3744 valid signatures and needed 2912. Petitioners now need to get 29,113 signatures in 60 days. A vote would require 25% turnout (72,281) to succeed (as well as actually winning that vote). 

Chen is the first member of his party to win a seat, beating a local dynasty in 2020.
