On July 3, 2024, citizens gathered to protest against the KMT's proposed amendments to the Recall Act, aiming to raise the recall threshold in Taiwan. The proposed changes include a 'dual threshold' system requiring more recall votes than the elected candidate's votes to pass, making recalls much harder. Various groups, including the Taiwan Civil Front, continue to mobilize protests against these amendments. The debate also included unrelated issues about indigenous voting rights, raising concerns about potential democratic regression. Critics argue that the proposed changes, if passed, would undermine the citizens' right to recall officials.
