Taiwan has a comprehensive household registration system. Compilation of voter lists is the statutory duty of government agents. With the exception of citizens residing overseas during the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections, citizens do not have to register to vote. Unless incompetence has been declared, citizens, aged 20 or above, who have resided in their respective constituencies for a stipulated period, are entitled to vote. Their records are automatically filed by Household Registration Officers at least 20 days prior to Election Day. There are approximately eighteen million voters throughout the country, which is around three-fourths of the population.
