In Puli Township, one local resident angrily posted on social media about a candidate who crossed the line. The day before, seeing that no one was home, the politician entered the residence to place promotional materials on a table. She was caught in surveillance footage, leaving the homeowner stunned and feeling disrespected. Surveillance footage captured 4 individuals entering the front yard of a local residence; they split up and placed campaign flyers all over. Three of them wore bright pink volunteer vests and the candidate wore a black vest herself. Seeing that no one came out of the residence, disregarding whether anyone was home or not, the candidate opened the door and carefully placed a flyer on the table before leaving. The incident happened in Nantou’s Puli Township. A resident left their home in the afternoon to rush to pick up their child from school. Thinking they would return soon, they didn’t lock the door. They didn’t think that when they returned a candidate’s card and merch, would have appeared on their table. Angrily, they posted about it on social media.

The candidate then stepped in to explain and apologize. Lo Hui-mei Puli Township Representative Candidate At the time, I asked, “Is there anyone home?” Their son said, “I’m showering.” I said, “Okay, I’m campaigning and I will put a flyer on the table.” Then I turned around and left and didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. I will do better in the future. If I have caused offense, I will improve and just put the fliers outside. I can take feedback, I know I was wrong. The candidate confirmed that at the time there was someone home showering, adding that she left quickly after dropping off the materials.
