Elected officials would serve a four-year term. Polling stations were open from 08:00 to 16:00 on the election day.[4]The elections resulted in a substantial defeat for the DPP. The DPP previously held 13 of 22 municipalities and counties, but won only 6 in this election due to widespread public distrust, a de facto vote of no confidence on President Tsai’s Administration, both politically (relations with China), economically (agriculture, tourism), and socially (pollution, labor laws, wages), which were reflected in the series of referendum results.[citation needed] The KMT won back executive control of 7 municipalities and counties from the DPP, while Ko Wen-je won his re-election for Taipei mayor.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Background[edit]Results summary[edit]Magistrate and mayor elections[edit]Opinion polls[edit]Results[edit]Councillor elections[edit]Nominations[edit]Opinion polls[edit]Results[edit]Township\/city mayor elections[edit]Nominations[edit]Results[edit]Township\/city council elections[edit]Nominations[edit]Results[edit]Village chief elections[edit]Nominations[edit]Results[edit]Aftermath[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Background[edit]This local election was seen as the first test for the incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen since assuming office in May 2016.
