Legislative Election and Recall Law, article XII, when generating the candidates for the election, once a candidate has over 3000 voters' signatures or has been nominated by the party as a candidate, they may begin campaigning. Those who have failed will not be allowed to campaign. Overseas Chinese and occupational groups can only campaign if they have the required number of voters. Because the constitution had just been promulgated, opposition was small, and most of the nominated candidates were from the Nationalist Party.
