Of these, 101 were to be elected directly representing Taiwan Province and the special municipalities of Taipei City and Kaohsiung City. The remaining 29 seats were to represent Mainland Chinese. These delegates were appointed by the President after being advised by organizations representing the Mainland Chinese population on Taiwan.

Results

Turnout for the supplementary election was 75,5%. Of the 101 directly elected delegates, 72 belonged to the Kuomintang, 21 to Democratic Progressive Party and 8 were independents.
