In the letter, Chen Shuzhuang pointed out that in response to the epidemic in Hong Kong, the government announced that the Asian Expo Hall would be converted into a community isolation facility in the short term. According to the original arrangement, the reserve central counting station would be the Kowloon Bay International Exhibition and Trade Center. It must be used as a community isolation facility on election day. Has the Administration arranged a third venue as a central counting station?
She also pointed out that the election of the Legislative Council and the fight against the epidemic are both very serious matters and should not be taken lightly. Many experts have pointed out that the source of the third wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong may come from people who are exempted from quarantine, and urged the government to immediately shut down.

When meeting reporters, Chen Shuzhuang pointed out that in the past year, countries and regions that did not have a country or region still held different types of elections, such as the Singapore general election. Regarding the recent establishment of the establishment from the government for the right to vote for Hong Kong residents living in the Mainland, she said that it should also fight for the right to vote from overseas Hong Kong residents at the same time, and the government should seriously deal with the relevant election issues.
