Taiwan’s upcoming local elections are considered to be a skirmish prior to the presidential election in 2024. Beijing’s attempts to influence Taiwan’s political environment are known to local voters. Experts say that the impact of  communist agents has been a major concern on the self-ruled island.

Nine local political offices will be voted on Nov. 26, including mayors, councilors, and local representatives.
