flag Taiwan enacts law granting 18- to 35-year-olds full voting and civic rights, establishing youth councils, a fund, and a national Youth Day.

flag Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan passed the Youth Basic Act, defining youth as ages 18 to 35 and granting 18-year-olds full citizenship rights, including voting, recall, initiative, and referendum participation, with legal changes required within two years. flag The law mandates a Youth Affairs Development Council with youth-majority membership and gender parity, along with a NT$10 billion development fund over five years, funded through government budgets, investments, and donations. flag A national Youth Day will be established, and a youth policy white paper will be published every four years. flag The move marks a major shift in youth inclusion in governance, though the fund’s funding method drew criticism from the ruling party over fiscal concerns.
