Miaoli County Council

The Miaoli County Council is the regional legislative body of Miaoli County in Taiwan, led by 38 elected councilors who work together to create local laws and oversee administrative functions. These representatives come from various political parties and address issues that affect daily life across the county.

The institution was established after Taiwan's transition from Japanese rule in 1945, holding its first election of county councilors on January 19, 1951. Since this founding, it has become the center of local democratic decision-making in the region.

The council represents a population mix of Hakka, Hoklo, and aboriginal communities, maintaining policies that support their distinct cultural practices.

The council meets in Miaoli City and uses a single non-transferable voting system for representation. Visitors can learn about public sessions to observe how local issues are debated and decided.

The council manages an area that produces specific agricultural products like strawberries and wood sculptures while overseeing 17 administrative divisions.
