In this study, we formulated a mathematical model for electorate demarcation
in line with Taiwan’s electoral reforms, minimizing legislative seats for the main
opposition party in Taipei City. The model is compared with historical election data to
establish characteristics that are most contested and germane to the reform. Examination
of the constituency demarcation for the Seventh Legislator Election ascertains that
electorate demarcation can/can not be manipulated to create electoral advantage.
Demonstrable evidence of a bias toward disproportionate representation in the single-
member district plurality, two-ballot voting system ultimately attests the importance of
scenario analysis before adopting new electorate systems.
