Recent polls across key municipalities show the DPP narrowing or reversing KMT leads in Taipei and New Taipei, where candidates Puma Shen and Su Chiao-hui have gained ground through targeted local appeals and higher turnout among younger and independent voters. Fractures in KMT-TPP coordination in several counties have limited opposition consolidation, while KMT incumbents face mobilization challenges ahead of the November 28 vote. These dynamics sustain trader pricing near parity for the leading parties, with “Other” and multiple smaller outcomes also priced around even. Final debates, last-minute endorsements, and turnout differentials in battleground districts remain the primary variables that could separate the contenders before ballots are cast.
Regels
Taiwanese local elections are scheduled to be held on November 28, 2026. This market will resolve according to the party whose official candidates win the most mayoral elections for Taiwan’s special municipalities and cities during these elections. A candidate will be considered an official candidate of a party if they are officially nominated by that party and are registered for the relevant election in affiliation with that party. Independent candidates will not count for any party. Taiwan’s local governments include the following cities and special municipalities: Cities/special municipalities (mayoral elections): Taipei City, New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Taichung City, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Keelung City, Hsinchu City, Chiayi City Only elections for the listed cities or special municipalities will be counted for this market. A party will have won as soon as it becomes mathematically impossible for any other party to equal or surpass its number of wins in these elections. In the case of a tie between two or more parties for the greatest number of relevant mayoral elections won, this market will resolve in favor of the party whose English name comes first in alphabetical order, as listed in this market group. Resolution of this market will be based on the results of the relevant elections, once those results are official. This market will remain open until a party has won or until the results of all of the relevant elections are made official. If the results of any of the relevant 2026 Taiwanese local elections aren’t known by June 30, 2027 11:59 PM ET, the winning party will be determined based on the available results up to that point. If none of the results of the relevant 2026 Taiwanese local elections are known by that time, this market will resolve to “Other”. This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Taiwanese government, specifically the Central Election Commission (https://db.cec.gov.tw/).
