            5. Elections of Taipei City, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, Tainan
               City, and Kaohsiung City Mayors
               The President promulgated the Self-Governance Act for Special Municipalities in July 1994. This
            Act specifically stipulates that citizens of relevant municipalities shall elect their respective mayors,

            thus establishing a legal basis for the popular election of mayors, for which the Civil Servants Election
            and Recall Act was amended accordingly. In December 1994, first-term mayors for Taipei City and
            Kaohsiung City were elected. On December 25, 2010, Taipei County was renamed New Taipei City,

            Kaohsiung County was merged with Kaohsiung City, which was already a special municipality, Taic-
            hung County was merged with the provincial city of Taichung, and Tainan County was merged with
            the provincial city of Tainan. On December 25, 2014, Taoyuan County was renamed Taoyuan City,
            thus creating five new special municipalities under the direct jurisdiction of the Executive Yuan. The
            fifth-term mayor’s election of Taipei City and the first-term election of the four new special munici-

            palities were held on November 27, 2010. The mayoral elections for the Taoyuan City first-term and
