Candidate crosses a line by putting flyers inside a house

2026-11-04

Is this taking campaigning too far? In Puli Township, one local angrily posted on social media about a candidate who crossed the line. On Monday, seeing that no one was home the politician entered the residence to place promotional materials on a table. She was caught in surveillance footage, leaving the homeowner stunned and disrespected.

Surveillance footage captured 4 individuals entering the front yard of a local residence; they split up and placed campaign flyers all over. Three of them wore bright pink volunteer vests and the candidate wore a black vest herself. Seeing that no one came out of the residence, disregarding whether anyone was home or not, the candidate opened the door and carefully placed a flyer on the table before leaving.

The incident happened in Nantou’s Puli Township. A resident left their home in the afternoon to rush to pick up their child from school. Thinking they would return soon, they didn’t lock the door. They didn’t think that when they returned a candidate’s card and merch, would have appeared on their table. Angrily, they posted about it on social media.

Disapproves of these acts
This is inappropriate, what if they went in and something went missing. This would be more controversial. It’s better to just stick the flyers on the door.

In the homeowner’s social media post, they found that twice now the borough warden and candidates had entered their home to leave flyers. Their passionate campaigning seemed to cross many boundaries. The candidate then stepped in to explain and apologize.

Puli Township Representative Candidate
At the time, I asked, “Is there anyone home?” Their son said, “I’m showering.” I said, “Okay, I’m campaigning and I will put a flyer on the table.” Then I turned around and left and didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. I will do better in the future. If I have caused offense, I will improve and just put the fliers outside. I can take feedback, I know I was wrong.

The candidate confirmed that at the time there was someone home showering, adding that she left quickly after dropping off the materials. Campaigns can be stressful but candidates need to be mindful and not take things too far in the spirit of getting votes.

闖民宅? 埔里民代候選人"擅入放文宣" 屋主怒:不尊重

2026-11-04

這樣拜票算擅闖民宅嗎?南投縣埔里鎮有民眾PO文指出，一名鎮民代表候選人，2日拜票時，屋主不在家，竟直接打開民宅紗門，進入屋內放置選舉文宣，整個過程被監視器拍下，屋主相當傻眼，覺得不受尊重，氣得在網路PO文。

監視器畫面拍到，4個人陸續來到民宅前院，分頭放選舉文宣品，其中3個人穿著桃紅色競選志工背心，另外還有一名穿著黑色背心的候選人，看屋內一直沒人出來，不管有沒有人在家，竟然直接打開紗門進到屋內，動作輕巧地在圓桌上放了競選文宣後離開。

南投縣埔里鎮有民眾，下午短暫外出接小孩下課，心想很快就會回家，沒有將家門上鎖，沒想到返家後，發現桌上竟然出現候選人的選舉名片和競選小物，氣得將畫面PO網，引起熱議。

[[民眾(非當事人)]]
“這樣不太恰當，如果進去，東西不見，這樣會比較有爭議，傳單就直接夾在門上就可以了”

民眾PO網畫面中，陸續發生兩次，有里長還有民代候選人，都進到屋內放文宣，再怎麼熱情打選戰也要尊重住家，屋主不在家，候選人自行開門進入屋內，讓民眾感到傻眼，質疑候選人怎麼可以未經同意進屋?候選人趕緊出面說明致歉。

[[埔里鎮民代表候選人羅惠美]]
“(當時)我說有人在家嗎，他(男孩)說他在洗澡，我說那哥哥，我要參選鎮民代表，我把名片放在桌上哦，我就放著轉身就走，造成大家不便，以後我會改進，我(文宣)會放門外就好，我會改進，我知道虛心接受，我知道我不對”

候選人澄清，當時曾確認屋內有人、正在洗澡，匆匆放下選舉文宣後離開。選戰熱烈，拜票禮貌仍要注意，還是不要未經同意擅自進屋，以免衍生爭議。
