she could. The Executive Yuan submitted updated submissions on October 29, 2018, clearly stating , if this ballot initiative is passed, the government will proceed to realize the right of same-sex marriage. The supplemental submission annoyed Mr. Tseng. After reading the updated opinion, "many (anti-gay-marriage) people are now rumoring whether the 12th referendum is invalid, whether they should vote no (to this referendum)?" "Our (Mr. Tseng’s campaign) office has received over 250 phone calls per day from citizens asking if they should go to vote. How should they vote”. On November 15, 2018, Mr. Tseng petitioned his case to Ombudswoman Ms. Gau, saying that the government’s position paper has "confused voters' judgment". Ms. Gau immediately sent two official letters to the CEC before the referendum, requesting accountability for the “confusion of voters judgement”. Chen resigned after the local election on 24 November 2018. 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. The impeachment reiterates that the CEC's announcement of the Executive Yuan's clarification to let the public understand that if the referendum passes, same-sex couples will be able to marry under a special law is confusing the (anti-gay-marriage) public's judgment.
