In 2024, former Taiwanese legislator Jaw Shaw-kong was sentenced by the Taipei District Court to six months in prison—convertible to a fine—for his involvement in the so-called ‘Great Recall’ ballot-disclosure case dating back to the 1990s. The case stems from 1993, following the second Legislative Yuan elections, when the Kuomintang (KMT) launched a mass recall campaign against Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators. During the recall vote, several KMT lawmakers, including Jaw, were accused of openly revealing their ballots, violating the then-applicable Legislative Yuan procedural rules requiring secret ballots. As a sitting KMT legislator at the time, Jaw was alleged to have led the act of ballot disclosure, undermining voting impartiality. Although the incident occurred over three decades ago, prosecutors recently reopened the investigation, arguing that such conduct constituted an abuse of official position for the benefit of the party under Taiwan’s Criminal Code. The court ruled that while no direct financial gain was involved, reinforcing party discipline and enhancing political advantage through public ballot disclosure still qualified as an unlawful benefit. Jaw has announced plans to appeal, asserting that his actions were political expressions, not criminal acts. The verdict has sparked public debate over the statute of limitations for historical political cases and the judiciary’s role in adjudicating past political conduct.
2024年，台湾地区前立法委员赵少康因涉及1990年代“大罢免”亮票案，被台北地方法院依《刑法》公务员假借职务机会图利罪判处有期徒刑6个月，可易科罚金。该案源于1993年第二届“立委”选举后，国民党推动对民进党籍“立委”的大规模罢免行动，过程中部分国民党籍“立委”被指控在表决时公开亮票，违反当时《立法院议事规则》中关于无记名投票的规定。赵少康时任国民党“立委”，被指在罢免案表决中带头亮票，影响投票公正性。尽管事件已逾三十年，但检方近年重启调查，认为其行为构成图利政党之实质不法利益。法院判决指出，虽无直接金钱利益，但透过亮票巩固党纪、强化政党政治优势，仍属图利范畴。赵少康表示将上诉，并强调当年行为属政治表态，非违法。此案引发社会对历史政治案件追诉时效与司法介入政治行为的广泛讨论。
