A coalition of smaller political parties is calling for candidates' criminal records to be included in official election bulletins.
The Taiwan Go Go Front is urging lawmakers to amend the Election and Recall Act during the current legislative session.
The coalition says 129 of more than 1,500 city and county councilor candidates have either been indicted or received a guilty verdict.
It has also identified candidates for mayor, county chief, and village and borough chief with criminal records.
New Power Party Chair Claire Wang says voters should have direct access to the information when deciding how to vote.
The coalition says it is not seeking to prevent anyone from running for office, but wants voters to decide whether a candidate's criminal record affects their choice.
