Nantou County residents are holding a recall vote for county councilor Chen Yu-ling on July 13. The campaign to oust Chen is one of dozens to remove elected politicians in Taiwan this year. Clarification: The report on the Nantou County Council recall vote mischaracterized election rules. Recall election rules stipulate that the number of votes in favor of removing a public official must account for at least 25% of constituents, and exceed those against.
