🇹🇼How does Taiwan mark What voting asks of you, country by country?

Everyday topic

The voting age in Taiwan is twenty — Article 14 of the Public Officials Election and Recall Act says "having reached the full age of twenty", two years later than most countries — and Article 15 adds a requirement of four continuous months of residence in the constituency. What really shapes the day, though, is Article 17: an elector shall vote at the polling station of the place of household registration. Taiwan has no absentee ballot and no postal vote, so anyone working or studying in another city has to travel back. Before a general election the high-speed rail and intercity coaches sell out, the motorways jam the night before, and election day itself becomes an island-wide homecoming. Inside the station you collect your ballot against your national ID card and mark it yourself (Article 18); in the afternoon each station counts aloud in the open, and anyone may stand and watch.
