　　　　　Comptuer-mediated network in election campaign of the Republic of China started with the Election of Taipei Mayor in 1994. All of three candidates used BBS (Bulletin Board System) as a tool to release press and to communicate with voters interactively. Since this election, political communications have merged on the Information Superhighway in Taiwan. And computer-mediated network has become a fashion of political campaigns. Furthermore, in the 1995 Election for Legislators, some candidates applied WWW (World Wide Web) in campaigns and attracted their electorate successfully. In view of the rapid growth of these computer-mediated networks, the paper tries to describe the development of the new media in election campaign and build a foundation for later studies in Taiwan. Meanwhile, the paper indicates that Taiwan's political information networks, as a campaign tool, confront ten intractable problems: network environment, media position, media promotion, target audience, content designing, information updating, system linking, system security, defaming and rumoring in net work, and government's regulations. In addition, the paper also provides ten tentative suggestions to solve these problems
