Defense Ministry to let many military personnel vote
Taiwan's military generals and officers will be able to vote in the March 22nd presidential election. Defense Minister Michael Tsai said on Tuesday that unless war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the ministry would try to let all the military personnel out to vote.
Tsai said that almost all personnel based on Penghu Island could go back to their hometown to vote. But because there are special regulations on the Kinmen and Matsu Islands, Tsai said about 70 to 75 percent of the personnel there must remain on duty.

Taiwanese politics is the most quirkish oddball thing to watch. It's the only democracy where the ruler can get shot at and there's legitimate questions on if he arranged it to aid in a win.
The going bet for the presidential election is still Kuomintang all the way right?
