The vote took place at the Chung-Shan Hall in Taipei. Incumbent President Chiang Kai-shek and Vice President Chen Cheng was re-elected.

In March of that year, the provisional articles were amended, and Chiang Kai-shek was successfully re-elected. He would serve five terms as president (1948-1975) until his death. As a result, Chiang received 1,481 votes of the 1,576 National Assembly members, while his running mate Chen Cheng was re-elected with 1,381 votes. The term began on May 20, 1960.
