Last updated date: 2019-11-20 20:14District Council elections will be held on Sunday (24th). The Secretary for the Mainland and Constitutional Affairs, Nie Dequan, said that the government hopes that the district elections will be held as scheduled, calling on demonstrators to stop violent threats and block roads, and not to disrupt traffic facilities and rails.
It is more difficult for the seal ink to be taken at this year's polling station, which will have an impact after the vote is folded. It is easy to become a waste ticket. Nie Dequan stressed that there is no such thing. Some people feel sorry for being out of nothing, no wind and waves, reminding everyone to calmly "Fact Check", do not believe in rumors.

Nie Dequan said that the Education Bureau announced that after the resumption of classes this morning, some people intervened in the railway and blocked the road, resulting in serious traffic congestion in many districts. He stressed that in order to ensure safety, the station staff needed to work across the district on the same day. If traffic jams, or they fail to arrive at the polling station on time, affecting the operation of the ticket station, he repeatedly called on the demonstrators not to block the road that day.
Nie Dequan also revealed that the Dangerous Management Committee held a meeting today under the auspices of the Chairman of the EAC, Mr Fung, to examine the current situation of the community and to make contingency plans. He reiterated that on the day of the election, the committee will assist the election committee in monitoring, handling riots and endangering public safety.

When asked about the extent of the damage to the ticketing station, the election will be postponed or even cancelled. Nie Dequan said that if the ticket station is attacked or damaged, it is necessary to suspend the operation of the station until the situation is suitable for reopening. If the station is suspended for more than one and a half. Hours, the ticket office will be postponed until December 1st.
He also pointed out that voters need to present the original identity card before they can vote. If they lose their identity cards, they should bring along the police’s loss report documents and the photo ID of the travel document to go to the poll, emphasizing that there are rumors on the Internet that the group’s identity card is lost. The method of reporting a lost paper to impersonate another person’s vote must not happen.
