This study discusses the factors affecting t he constituency redistricting for the 7th Legislative Yuan election in Taipei County. A high1y po1itica1 issue and never practiced before, the first congressional redistricting engenders some interesting phenomenon to observe. With participatory observation and the inspiration of new institutionalism, we try to figure out questions such as "who is responsible for the district drawing and how" and "what are the major factors influencing the process of redistricting in the local level, i.e., Taipei County." We find that incumbent legislators play decisive roles than any others in bringing out the redistricting drafts. Second, the Taipei County Election Commission, Iike the CEC, did not take the direct responsibility of suggesting its preferred redistricting scheme but integrate stakeholders' opinions into five drafts and put the hot potato back to the CEC. Third, the dominant princip1es expressed in the local level for constituency redistricting are "equal value of the vote" and "common living circle." Nonetheless, there is a trade-off between the two principles. Finally, although not covered in this paper, we have noticed that the rule of the redistricting game had been somewhat abused by some political parties and incumbents, a fact that can be understood from the perspective of the new institutionalism.
