Prosecutors in Lienchiang County (Matsu) suspect fake household registrations were used to sway a local election, a corruption story with no real market or war angle but relevant to Taiwan's political integrity.

• Investigators raided a village in Nangan after tips that "ghost population" voters had fake-registered their residency to vote for a specific candidate.
• Six people were questioned; three are now out on bail after being charged with attempted voter fraud tied to illegal household registration.
• Prosecutors say anyone caught faking a residency move to swing an election could face up to five years in prison.
• Authorities are offering a large cash reward (up to roughly NT$20 million) for tips, with informant identities kept confidential.

Outlook: The case continues, with the remaining questioned individuals released pending further investigation into whether more fraudulent registrations are tied to the same campaign.
