Taiwan's parliament votes on a full slate of Control Yuan nominees, a test of whether the government can keep one of its constitutional bodies staffed and working.

• Lawmakers vote on the nominations for Control Yuan president, vice president and 25 members when the new session opens.
• Presidential Office Secretary-General Pan Meng-an will take the nominees to meet the DPP caucus the morning of the vote, pressing for all of them to be approved.
• All the names are bundled onto a single ballot, so the slate passes or fails together rather than one nominee at a time.
• The session starts with a policy report from Premier Cho Jung-tai, with no questions taken, before the vote.
• The government frames approval as necessary to keep the constitutional watchdog body functioning normally.

Outlook: With the opposition holding the numbers in the legislature, the all-or-nothing ballot leaves the Control Yuan at risk of going unfilled if the slate is rejected.
