estimate

Voting 08:00-16:00 CST (UTC+8, no daylight saving) per the CEC announcement of 28 Aug 2026, so the close is 08:00 UTC; ballots are counted at each polling station after the close. The vote is held on the same day as the 2026 local elections (Referendum Act art. 23(1)), so stations count local-election ballots as well. Precedent for a stand-alone referendum: on 23 Aug 2025 (No. 21) the last of the polling stations reported at 19:55:21 CST, under 4 h after the close (CEC per-station completion-time sheet, web.cec.gov.tw/referendum/article/61395). The window end (06:00 CST on 29 Nov) is an ESTIMATE that allows for the combined count. Unofficial counts, not the CEC's announced result.
Replaced on the live page by the final result from Tue 1 Dec, 00:00.
