Staff writer, with CNAA petition to recall Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) has passed the first signature threshold and would soon proceed to the second stage, Wecare Kaohsiung founder Aaron Yin (尹立) said. In the case of Han, that amounts to at least 22,800 of the city’s 2.28 million eligible voters for the first stage. The threshold rises to 10 percent of the electorate in the second stage. The final stage is a recall vote, in which at least 25 percent of the electorate — about 570,000 people in this case — must participate for the results to be valid. If the petition passes all the thresholds, a recall vote might be held in late May, Chang said.
