Voting in the Taiwan election started at 8am today. In one of the polling stations in Yunlin District, Kaohsiung City, many voters casted their votes within the first 2 hours. A voter expressed her worries towards the election as she believes that the election result will determine whether or not voting is still possible and whether freedom of speech can still be enjoyed in the future. She acknowledged the importance of elections, as civilians can choose their leaders. She expressed that she hopes for elected candidate to stand firm in their believes despite facing oppression.
Some voters believe that the political views of the candidates are important. However, whether their policies can boost the economy in Taiwan is still the most importanr, and the other factors can be disregarded. Some votes are concerned about candidates’ diplomatic policies as the economy will be affected.
Some voters think the election is particularly vigorous, but they hope all parties will respect the result as true democracy is based on mutual respect.

Taiwan citizens actively participate in the Taiwan's 2020 general elections held today (#11Jan). Crowds were found in Taipei Station and Taiwan High Speed Rail Station as voters go to the polls for president election.
In Penghu Pier, some voters waited for ferries at 6 a.m. as they wish to avoid the crowds.

This year, more than 19 millions citizens have registered as voters, including the 1.18 millions “first-time voters”. Of this year’s total, 30% of voters are aged under 39, which might turn the situation around.
