TAIWAN PARLIAMENT ASSISTANTS SEAL A BALLOT BOX IN A STAGED TRIAL REFERENDUM IN TAIPEI.
Parliament assistants seal a ballot box in a staged trial referendum in Taipei on February 18, 2004. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party staged the mock vote to counter criticism from opposition parties that voters would be confused by President Chen Shui-bian's plans to hold a referendum at the same time as the presidential election on March 20.
