This article lists the current magistrates and mayors, the head of government, of the 22 primary administrative divisions of Taiwan. After the streamlining of provinces in 1998,[1] local autonomous bodies including the 6 special municipalities, 13 counties and 3 provincial cities are directly administrated by the central government (Executive Yuan) according to the Local Government Act.[2][3] Executive branch of the local autonomous bodies are led by a mayor or magistrate. Each mayor or magistrate are elected by the population of each division with a maximum term of four years and are limited to two terms in office.[2]
Currently, except for mayor of Kaohsiung, all of the mayors of special municipalities and provincial cities and all of the county magistrates in the republic have won in the 2018 mayoral and magistratical elections and were sworn into office on 25 December 2018. Of the twenty-two current incumbents, seven are women—Lu Shiow-yen in Taichung City and Huang Min-hui in Chiayi City, as well as Wang Huei-mei in Changhua County, Chang Li-shan in Yunlin County, and all three magistrates for counties along the east coast. Lin Ming-chen of Nantou County is the oldest official (73 years, 172 days of age), while Hsinchu City's Lin Chih-chien is the youngest (49 years, 68 days old). Fourteen incumbents belong to the Kuomintang and six are from the Democratic Progressive Party; one is from the Taiwan People's Party and one is Independent politician.
