# Local elections in Taiwan

Local elections in Taiwan, also known as Nine-in-One Elections since 2014, are held to elect local officials and councilors in Taiwan. The election is typically held in the middle of a presidential term.

## Types

Elections are held to elect:
| Executive government | Legislature |
