1935 Taiwanese local elections

Local elections were held for the first time in Taiwan by the Japanese colonial government on 22 November 1935, electing half of the city and township councillors.

Only men aged 25 and above and who had paid a tax of five yen or more a year were allowed to vote, which was only 28,000 out of the 4 million population.

The Japanese government did not accept, but held city council elections instead as a compromise.
