Welcome to the Official Portal Website of the Republic of China, Taiwan. Discover all the government's online information and services here.

The Government of the Republic of China [note 1], is the national authority whose actual-controlled territory consists of main island of Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other island groups, collectively known as Taiwan Area or Free Area.

Taiwan is governed under the Constitution of the Republic of China, which was drafted in 1947 before the fall of the mainland China to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the full retreat of the ROC government to Taiwan.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) claims that Taiwan is Chinese territory and that the PRC replaced the ROC government in 1949, becoming the sole legal government of China.

The central government comprises the presidency and five major branches, or yuans. The local governments at present include those of six special municipalities, 13 counties and three autonomous municipalities with the same hierarchical status as counties.

The president and vice president of the ROC (Taiwan) are directly elected every four years. In Taiwan’s legislative elections, each voter casts one ballot for their district and another for at-large seats.
