Proposal failed; votes in favor did not exceed a quarter of eligible voters

A national referendum was held on 23 August 2025 in Taiwan. Backed by the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP), the Legislative Yuan considered four referendum proposals. Only one proposal, on whether to reverse the decommissioning of the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant's second reactor, was approved by the Central Election Commission. The initiative was defeated after the number of votes in favor of the motion fell short of the threshold of a quarter of the eligible voters.
