Taiwan's legislature will pause normal business for a week to let lawmakers focus on local elections, a routine scheduling move rather than a policy shift.

• The Legislative Yuan will suspend both plenary sessions and committee meetings from November 23-27, 2026, following its usual practice around nine-in-one local elections.
• To finish reviewing the 2027 central government budget, the current session will be extended through January 31, 2027.
• Party caucuses also agreed to complete the third reading of the 2026 supplementary budget by November 20, 2026.
• Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu announced the cross-party agreement after a negotiation session.

Outlook: Budget review work will continue into early 2027, with lawmakers returning to full session after the late-November election recess.
