The Democratic Legislative Council primary election ended yesterday, with a total of more than 610,000 people voting at electronic and physical votes. The primary election coordinator Dai Yaoting, Ou Nuoxuan and Democratic Power Convener Zhao Jiaxian held a press conference tonight to announce the preliminary results. .

It is worth noting that different districts have different forms of coordination. The primary elections in the New Territories East and New Territories West constituencies are binding, and partly depend on the final polls before they are abandoned.
