The Social Security Office stressed that every vote matters and invited eligible voters to register for the 2026 Social Security Board election until 16 September 2026, ahead of voting on Sunday, 27 September 2026.
On 24 July 2026, the Social Security Office announced an invitation for eligible voters to participate in the 2026 Social Security Board election under the concept “Transparent elections, vote with confidence.” It stated the goal is to jointly select representatives of insured persons and employers who are knowledgeable and capable to serve as representatives of all sectors in directing the management of the Social Security Fund, which supports insured persons nationwide.
It explained the importance of the Social Security Board as a key mechanism for policy setting, management, and oversight of the Social Security Fund’s operations. The Board plays a role in determining fund management strategies, developing benefits, safeguarding insured persons’ interests, and setting operational directions to ensure the fund’s stability, transparency, and responsiveness to the needs of insured persons and employers. Every vote is significant because it empowers the selection of representatives who will voice the concerns of insured persons and employers on the Board. Participation in voting is a way for everyone to help shape the management direction of the Social Security Fund, directly affecting benefits and service quality for insured persons in the future.
The 2026 Social Security Board election has key dates relevant to voters and candidates. The Social Security Office will announce the list of eligible voters and polling locations on 10 August 2026. Voters may submit requests to add or remove names from the voter list until 16 September 2026.
