The [[Kuomintang]]-led [[government of the Republic of China]] [[Retreat of the Republic of China to Taiwan|retreated]] to [[Taiwan]] in 1949, the year following the elections after the enactment of the 1947 constitution. As the [[Kuomintang]] government continues to claim sovereignty over [[mainland China]], the term limit of the original Members of the Control Yuan was extended until "re-election is possible in their original [[electoral districts]]." In response to the increasing democracy movement in [[Taiwan]], limited supplementary elections were held in the [[Free area of the Republic of China|Free Area]] ([[Taiwan]]) starting 1969. Members elected in these supplementary elections served together with those who were elected in 1948. This situation remained until a Constitutional Court ([[Judicial Yuan]]) ruling on June 21, 1991, that ordered the retirement of all members with extended terms by the end of 1991.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://web.cec.gov.tw/central/cms/elec_hist/21226 |title=中央選舉委員會歷次選舉摘要－監察委員選舉 |access-date=2020-08-31 |archive-date=2021-02-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210202101558/https://web.cec.gov.tw/central/cms/elec_hist/21226 |url-status=live }}</ref>
