The election was conducted by the National Assembly in its meeting place Chung-Shan Hall in Taipei . According to the Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion , the term of the delegates who were elected during the 1947 Chinese National Assembly election was extended indefinitely until "re-election is possible in their original electoral district ". In total, there were 1,578 delegates reported to the secretariat to attend this second session of the first National Assembly.[1]
The 1947 National Assembly election elected 2,961 delegates for the 3,045 seats of the National Assembly . About half of them did not flee to Taiwan with the government . The 1,578 delegates reported to this session barely passed the 50% requirement (1,523) of the National Assembly to hold a valid meeting.
