The Legislative Council elections will be held in September. The Election Management Committee announced the guidelines for the election activities earlier, but did not respond to the demands of the formation of electronic ballots and caring teams. The Democratic League, the Federation of Trade Unions, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong and the independent establishment faction He Junyao held a cross-party press conference today (3rd). They expressed dissatisfaction with the failure of the EAC to learn lessons from the unfair elections of the district last year, and criticized the chairman of the EAC, Feng. Hua's inaction does not rule out the possibility of judicial review.

Regarding the proposal to establish a caring team, which was not accepted, the DAB Legislative Council member Ge Pengfan criticized the EAC for conniving at unfair elections, and also pointed out that if the caring team is considered unfair to other voters, "it is better to cancel all the love seats in Hong Kong because Not fair to all sound people."

According to Liang Meifen of the Pakatan Rakyat, the EAC has received a number of complaints after the district elections, which involved multiple cases of violence and intimidation. The criticism of the EAC’s inaction has caused the public and the candidates to lose confidence. He Junyao listed four major issues in district elections, including someone who had stolen addresses, repeated voting, someone queuing repeatedly to block the vote, and suspected that the ticket office staff were behind closed doors to make votes.

The Federation of Trade Unions Mai Meijuan pointed out that the voter register of Weiying District in Kwai Tsing District has been lost for more than two years. It was only revealed when the ICAC requested that the register be handed over to assist in the investigation. .

Liang Meifen believes that the EAC should ensure that candidates are not subjected to violent intimidation and unfair stigmatization. It should also actively consider the arrangement of electronic voting and caring teams, and set up CCTV at the ticketing station to prevent staff interference in elderly voting and more convenient handling of complaints.
