Taiwan: Keelung City Mayor recall makes the ballot; scheduled for October 13

Keelung City Mayor Hsieh Kuo-liang (KMT) recall has made the ballot, with the vote scheduled for October 13. Kuo-liang is facing criticism over a scandal involving a commercial property at the harbor, and claims that he did this to benefit the family of his ex-girlfriend. 

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.
