Maioli County and Taipei City have been accused of devising ways to subvert the rules set by the CEC.

Citing elections held over the years, Lin said that it is not new to ask voters to cast three different ballots at one time.

"Over the past 27 years, there were four regional or national elections where voters cast three ballots at one time to elect regional heads and over 20 regional or national elections where voters cast two ballots," he said.

Lin made the remarks in response to questions filed by local pan-blue officials, who claimed it might cause a commotion if voters are to cast three ballots at one time.
