Premier Chuo Rong-tai says the nominations for the Central Election Commission members shall be made by mid-November.
According to the law, the executive branch should have done so three months ago.
With the terms of six members having expired on October 31st, the C-E-C now has only four members, falling short of the five required to convene meetings or make decisions.
Answering lawmakers' questions today, Acting C-E-C chair Wu Rong-hui (吳容輝) said the Commission now can only handle matters unrelated to elections.
Chuo said due to extensive considerations, they are currently consulting various parties to find appropriate and impartial individuals to fill the C-E-C positions and will present the nominees in mid-November.
He called on the Legislature to approve the nominees as soon as possible, adding that the date for next year's local elections was already set on November 28th.
