The increase is a result of an amendment to the Referendum Act (公民投票法), which lowered the voting age for referendums from 20 to 18. The referendums are on putting the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant back into service, banning the import of ractopamine-laden pork, allowing referendums to concur with a national election, and relocating the CPC (中油公司) LNG terminal from the proposed algal reef site off the coast of Datan (大潭).

These dogs were used in the kitchen to help evenly cook meat. How? The owners or kitchen workers would place the Turnspit dog on a wooden wheel, similar to a hamster wheel. Chains from the wheel were connected to a large metal spear which would pierce the dead animal whether it be deer, boar, large birds, etc. As the Turnspit dog would run, the large roasting animal over the fire would slowly turn, giving the food an even cook.
