  ROC legislative election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Legislative Yuan (第六屆立法委員選舉) of the Republic of China on Taiwan was held on December 11, 2004.
Although the pan-green coalition improved both their seat totals and their vote percentage over the last election, the legislative elections were widely interpreted as a major defeat for the pan-green coalition, given their goal of gaining a majority of seats in the Legislative Yuan.
The legislative elections were the last in Taiwan using the single non-transferable vote, as a constitutional amendment was passed in 2005 to convert the election format in the 2007 legislative elections.

Recall that the legislative session lasts for 60 or 90 legislative days, which means that many legislators – especially those who live far away from the State Capitol – must be far away from their spouses, children or parents for many months.
In order to become a legislative participant in the policy process and a representative of the citizens of his or her district, a candidate must be chosen by the voters in the district.
