Taiwanese local elections are scheduled to be held on November 28, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who becomes the next Mayor of Hsinchu City as a result of this election. Temporary, interim, or placeholder Mayors appointed before the election will not be considered. If the result of this election isn't known, or no candidate has been elected, by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Taiwanese government, specifically the Central Election Commission (https://db.cec.gov.tw/).Ann Kao holds an overwhelming lead in trader consensus for the November 2026 Hsinchu City mayoral race, reflecting her status as the reinstated incumbent and the absence of a competitive Kuomintang challenger under the opposition coordination agreement. Her acquittal on major corruption charges in late 2025 enabled her return to office, and recent polling shows her support exceeding 50 percent against Democratic Progressive Party nominee Chuang Ching-cheng, with undecided voters and satisfaction with local governance further bolstering her position. A minor independent bid by former KMT spokesperson Ho Chih-yung registers negligible market pricing, as party pressure has limited its viability. Candidate registration opens at the end of August, leaving limited time for new developments to alter the current alignment of pan-blue preferences behind the independent incumbent.
