Taipei City Constituency 1, Legislative district in Beitou and Shilin areas, Taiwan
Taipei City Constituency 1 is a legislative district in Taipei that covers the entire Beitou district and parts of Shilin, including the Tianmu area. Together, these northern regions form the geographic base for electing one representative to the Legislative Yuan.
The constituency was established in 2008 during a major restructuring of the Legislative Yuan, shifting from a multi-member system to one representative per district. This change fundamentally reshaped Taiwan's electoral structure.
Residents experience this area as a place where they exercise their democratic voice through elections for Legislative Yuan representation. The neighborhoods reflect how people engage with local issues and participate in Taiwan's political process.
The constituency has approximately 275,000 registered voters who participate in elections every four years to choose their Legislative Yuan representative. Visitors interested in the electoral process should inquire locally about voting locations and election schedules in the Beitou and Shilin areas.
The 2016 election brought a notable shift when Rosalia Wu won the seat, marking the first time the Democratic Progressive Party took control away from the Kuomintang. This victory reflected a significant change in voter preferences within these northern regions.
