| Description | The number of signatures collected for People First Party (PFP) Chairman James Soong (宋楚瑜) passed the threshold required to register for participating in the January presidential election, PFP officials said yesterday.
As stipulated in Article 46 of the Constitution and Article 23 of the Presidential and Vice Presidential Election and Recall Act (總統副總統選舉罷免法), presidential and vice presidential candidates must gather signatures amounting to 1.5 percent of voters in the most recent elections to demonstrate that the candidate enjoys popular support.
That means Soong needs 257,695 signatures to enter the presidential election. |
