The police plan to conduct strict and swift investigations and judicial actions against these individuals regardless of their political party or status. In addition to these offenders, those who planned, ordered, or conspired in their crimes will also be thoroughly tracked and strictly controlled.

The police will continue to strictly crack down on the "five major election crimes," defined as bribery, spreading false information, government officials' election involvement, election violence, and illegal mobilization of groups, which seriously undermine the fairness of the election until election day.

On February 7, the police formed a dedicated investigation team of 158 members for election-related offenses at the provincial police agency and 23 police stations within the province, and established a close cooperation system with the city and county election commissions and the relevant prosecution offices.

The police will maintain a strict and neutral stance throughout all investigation processes to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings such as biased investigations and will thoroughly comply with legal procedures.
