KMT lawmakers call for 2-round presidential voting system by 2028
Posted on 2025-09-18 08:16:13
K-M-T lawmakers are proposing creating a two-round absolute majority system
for choosing Taiwan's president in time for the 2028 election.

According lawmaker Lo Chih-chiang, the proposal has two parts ..

... one being to amend the Constitution to change the presidential election
system to an absolute majority two-round system, and the other to revise
election laws to resolve the difficulties of minority presidents.

Lo says a two-round presidential vote would allow voters in the first round
to "support their favorite candidate without worrying" that strategic voting
could "let the most disliked candidate win."

Lo is criticizing the current relative majority system saying it results in
candidates working to split the opponent's camp and manipulating strategic
voting - making voters afraid to support their favorite candidate .

The K-M-T lawmakers says the changes could improve the election atmosphere
and strengthen the president's legitimacy.

Lo has told reporters that the proposal has the support of a majority of the
K-M-T lawmakers and he has privately exchanged views with Taiwan People's
Party lawmakers and will continue to work to build cross-party consensus on
the issue.
