Chen In-chin (traditional Chinese: 陳英鈐; simplified Chinese: 陈英钤; pinyin: Chén Yīngqián) is a Taiwanese politician. He was the Chairperson of Central Election Commission from 17 November 2017 to 25 November 2018.[2]
Education and academic career
Chen obtained his bachelor's and master's degree in law from National Taiwan University in 1986 and 1992 respectively. He then obtained his doctoral degree in law from Heidelberg University in Germany in 1999.[3]
Chen began teaching at Ming Chuan University as an assistant professor of law in 2000. He was promoted to associate professor in 2003. He left Ming Chuan University for National Central University (NCU) in 2006, and was appointed to the rank of full professor in 2008. He was the director of the Graduate Institute of Law and Government at NCU between 2015 and 2017.[4]
Central Election Commission
Chen won 70 of 72 ballots in a Legislative Yuan vote in November 2017, confirming him to the chairmanship of the Central Election Commission.[5] Chen tendered his resignation amid criticism over the flaws during the local election on 24 November 2018. His resignation was accepted by Premier William Lai with immediate effect.[6] On 7 November 2019, the Control Yuan voted to impeach Chen. The investigatory agency determined that the Organic Law of the Central Election Commission was violated during the 2018 Taiwanese referendum.[7]
