The recall election against Keelung City Mayor Hsieh Kuo-liang (KMT) is looking to hand in nearly 40,000 signatures by July 5. They need about 31,000. Kuo-liang is facing criticism over a scandal involving a commercial property at the harbor.
The KMT is looking to change the law, which currently has a "absentee veto" requirement (25% must turnout for the recall to count). They would add a "queen of the hill" provision, which requires the pro-recall vote to top the amount of signatures received in the official's original election.
