Chiang Chieh-an (Chinese: 蔣絜安; born 7 July 1968) is a Taiwanese politician who served in the Legislative Yuan from 2018 to 2020.

Personal life[]

Chiang Chieh-an is of Hakka descent.[1] Her father-in-law was the writer Chung Chao-cheng.[2]

Political career[]

Chiang Chien-an was appointed to the Legislative Yuan via proportional representation party list, as a representative of the Democratic Progressive Party.[3] She took office on 17 July 2018,[3] succeeding Kolas Yotaka who joined the William Lai-led Executive Yuan as spokesperson.[4] In May 2019, an amendment to the Referendum Act proposed by Chiang was advanced to a second reading without undergoing committee review.[5] The amendment included a clause that required voters to present their National identification card when voting in a referendum.[6] It also called for referendums to be held separately from elections, and only once every two years.[7] The opposition Kuomintang caucus raised concerns about the national identification card requirement,[8] and it was removed before the amendment splitting referendums from elections passed.[9]
