總統副總統選舉罷免法（新 84.08.09 制定）

This provision says the law is made under the Constitution and applies to presidential and vice presidential elections and recalls.

各級選舉委員會在辦理選舉或罷免期間，可以調用各級政府職員辦理事務。

This provision assigns prosecutors to investigate criminal cases involving interference with presidential and vice presidential elections or recalls, and allows prosecutors to direct judicial police in those investigations.

各審受理法院應在受理後六個月內審結屬於本章之罪或刑法第六章妨害投票罪的案件。

在選舉或罷免辦理違法且足以影響結果時，檢察官、候選人、被罷免人或罷免案提議人得在公告後15日內向管轄法院提起選舉或罷免無效之訴。

If a court’s final judgment confirms an election or recall is invalid, the election or recall is invalid and must be redone; if the illegality is only partial, only that part is invalid and must be voted on again.

有特定情形時，選舉罷免機關、檢察官或候選人可以在公告當選後60日內，向有管轄權的法院提起當選無效之訴。

If an elected person has any circumstance listed in Article 28, the election recall authority, a prosecutor, or a candidate may sue for an election to be invalid before the term ends.

當選無效之訴經判決確定為無效時，當選無效；已就職者應自判決確定日起解除職務。

A judgment that an election or a person’s election is invalid does not affect that person’s official acts after taking office.

Certain named actors may file a lawsuit in the competent court to invalidate a recall result within 60 days after the result is announced, if one of the listed grounds exists.
