Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Central Election Commission (中央選舉委員會) decided in July, to postpone the holding of the 17th to 20th national referendums that were originally scheduled to be held on August 28 and scheduled the referendum on December 18. The Miaoli County New Immigrants’ Family Service Center (苗栗縣新住民家庭服務中心) opened a new immigrants’ training class in mid-September to train new residents to become election staff.
