The operation of true democracy is predicated on fair election. However the practice of vote buying has been so commonplace in Taiwan's elections at all levels that it has become practically an indispensable campaign activity of the candidates. The Ministry of Justice and law enforcement agencies have been putting forth all efforts to crack down on vote buying in elections over the years and have attained brilliant achievements in indicting the offenders. However the overwhelming success on the part of the law enforcement also highlights the seriousness of vote buying problem in Taiwan. To gain in-depth understanding of the causes of vote buying and to explore the overall pattern of vote buying in Taiwan, this study analyzes the results of voting buying crackdown in the 9-in-1 election of local officials taken place in 2014, and proposes the following strategies against the vote buying practice: (1) step up the gathering of vote buying intelligence; (2) refine the vote buying investigation tactics; (3) make the best use of compulsory sanction; (4) swiftly dispense informant rewards; (5) cancel the allowance of NT$30 gift; (6) integrate investigation resources; (7) speedy trial; (8) grasp the money trail; (9) enhance customs inspection; (10) step up anti-vote buying campaign; (11) develop innovative vote buying investigation strategies; and (12) purify the election culture.
