	ROC referendum, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On November 29, President Chen Shui-bian announced that given that the PRC had missiles aimed at Taiwan, he had the power under the defensive referendum clause to order a referendum on sovereignty, although he did not do so.
		One interesting characteristic of the debates is that the con positions were not argued by any active political figures in the Pan-Blue Coalition, and the CEC at first found it difficult to find people to take the con position.
		Voters who choose not to cast a referendum ballot could exit the line at the base of the U. Near the end of the campaign, the CEC issued a number of conflicting and constantly changing directives as to what would constitute a valid ballot.

		Executive Yuan spokesman Lin Chia-lung, made the remarks in response to Powell's testifying at the House International Relations Committee a day earlier, during which he said that "we don't really see a need" for the referendum, but Taiwan is a democratic place, and if they choose to have a referendum, they can have a referendum.

		Although Pan-Blue polled a combined total of over 60 percent of the vote in 2000, almost everyone believes that they will not do nearly as well, in part because of Lee Teng-Hui's defection to the Pan-Green camp.
		Polls in February 2004 showed Pan-Blue running slightly ahead, but with a quarter of the electorate still undecided.
		However, most analysts are of the opinion that the poll numbers vastly overestimate the number of people who are actually undecided, and all but a small percentage of the people who expressed no opinion have already decided for whom they will vote.
