Last update date: 2020-06-21 00:46The "Two Millions and Three Strikes Union Front" and "Secondary Student Action Preparation Platform" of 30 trade unions held a "referendum" on strike strike today (20th). Due to the small number of voters, there was an emergency. At 7 o'clock in the evening, there were some people standing at some ticket stations. The four ticket stations in Ciyun Mountain, Prince Edward, Yau Ma Tei and Causeway Bay were extended by one hour to 9 pm; The strike of secondary school students at Wan Chai and Tuen Ticket Stations was also delayed. But some people still failed to catch up with the vote and were disappointed with the failure to vote.
Ciyunshan polling station is the largest polling station for this referendum and the central counting station for middle school students to vote. Counting starts at about 9:30 in the evening, and each ballot box counts twice to ensure the correct number of votes; different unions will conduct the counting process by the directors, and the results will be announced at 11 pm.
In the early hours of Sunday, the conference announced that although the total number of student tickets reached the standard, but the physical votes did not reach 5,000, the "Secondary School Action Preparation Platform" announced that it could not start the strike operation.
[00:33] The total votes of 30 unions are 8,943 votes
Motion 1 (Anti-National Security Law): 98% agree, 1.72% disagree, and 0.28% abstention
Motion 2 (strike): 95.4% agree, 1.66% disagree, 2.9% abstention
Strike threshold: Only 20% (6) of the unions passed the motion 2 strike/industrial action threshold, and 80% (24) did not pass.
Total number of trade unions: 16,975 (up 21.4%) The total turnout rate is 52.7%
[00:32] Zheng Jialang took the man’s shooting of student photos as an example. He believed that the National Security Act intimidated students very seriously, and strongly condemned the punishment of students by exposing students’ privacy. When asked whether he would follow up, he said he would discuss it again. When asked about the Xinhua News Agency's announcement of the content of the National Security Act in the Minato City, Zheng Jialang described that the students were targeted, and worried that the Hong Kong education department would restrict students. He said he knew he had expectations of the referendum, but it was very difficult to rely on the strength of middle school students alone, and he hoped everyone would fight together.
[00:15] Student voting results:
Motion 1: against
voting by the entity of National Security Law -for: 3,632; against: 32; abstention: 3
Online voting-for: 6,035; against: 385; abstention: 0
Motion II:
Voting by the entity that strikes —Agree: 3,393; Oppose: 63; Abstain: 20
Online voting-in favor: 5,325; against: 118; abstention: 991
【00:10】During Zheng Jialang's speech, the scene suspected that a man had a dispute while filming the "big head" of the organizer. The man claimed that the video transmission to a friend was "want to enjoy". The man later deleted the photo on the spot and left.
June 21st [00:02] A spokesman for "Secondary Student Action Preparation Platform" Zheng Jialang said that he completed the results of seven ticketing stations. There were 10,101 votes for referendum entities and online voting, and both proposals agreed to be larger. However, due to the threshold of less than 5,000 physical votes, the referendum failed to initiate a strike. He also pointed out that the voting results show that the social atmosphere needs more time to prepare, and in the future will work harder to promote the action of middle school students, saying "don't let middle school students stand alone to resist tyranny."
Zheng Jialang believes that the threshold of 5,000 votes for entities is reasonable, because strikes are not easy. He also pointed out that the referendum was frightening because of a series of suppressions by the regime. Ten thousand votes were already a good result. At present, the counting of consent votes has not been completed, but for the time being it can be seen that it is more than 60%; as to whether another referendum will be launched, it depends on everyone's efforts and how to judge the social atmosphere.

The Ciyunshan United Ticket Station was closed at 9pm, and someone successfully rushed to the poll 5 minutes before the end. Voter Miss Li said that because of something that failed to rush to vote at 8 o'clock today, but learned that the polling station was extended by one hour, she came to vote immediately. Regarding the government's accusation that the "referendum" is unconstitutional, she said: "I want to express my opinion, so that the government can't look at it."
Late voters: National Security Law makes people feel that everything is a foregone conclusion
However, some people were refused entry to the ticket station because they were one minute late. Mr. Tang from the design world hurried to the ticket station, but because the time was 9:01, the door of the ticket station was not closed, but he was also refused to let him vote.
Mr. Tang was disappointed bluntly, but admitted that he was not too concerned about the referendum. It was only remembered by a friend when he mentioned it, and he knew that the ticket station was closed late, so he hoped to rush to express his opinions. Is the idea of voting inspired by the introduction of the National Security Law? He believes that the National Security Act made him feel that everything in Hong Kong is a foregone conclusion. There is a discrepancy between the "popularity" and it is discouraging. "But I want to give it a try."

It takes 60,000 people to vote at 5:30 pm
Mr. Li, a member of the Hong Kong Founding and Engineering Staff Association, who was also unable to vote, rushed to the Ciyunshan ticket station after completing his work, because each vote was also important. But when he learned that the voting threshold for this strike was 60,000, and the number of members announced by the 30 trade unions earlier was only about 14,000, he blamed "I am very disappointed, I think the people are selfish."
The referendum was originally scheduled to end at 8 o'clock tonight, but due to the presence of people in the multi-zone ticketing station, the organizer announced that the cutoff time for some ticketing stations was extended to 9 o'clock in the evening. The "Two Million Three Strikes Union Front" Facebook announced that as of 5:30 pm, there were 5,495 participants in the referendum on strike, which is still far from the threshold of 60,000.
