The Legislative Council election was originally scheduled to be held on September 6. Before the end of the nomination period, several Returning Officers had a total of 12 candidates for the election qualifications. From the 3rd to yesterday (6th) of this month, the Hong Kong Democracy Research Institute interviewed 9114 people via e-mail. The results showed that 63% expressed opposition, 31% expressed support, and the rest were "half and a half, don’t know/difficult to say"; According to calculations by supporters of the “non-democratic faction” and “non-democratic faction”, 94% of respondents who claim to be democratic are opposed to the RO’s decision, and 35% of respondents who claim to be non-democratic are opposed to DQ.

Deng Jianyi, an assistant professor in the Department of Social Sciences of the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, said that 35% of the "non-democrats" also opposed the decision, a large proportion. It can be seen that the non-democrats will have different views in the context of right and wrong.

He continued that the government’s disqualification "red line" is vague. It is not as good as in the past that it only used "support for Hong Kong independence" as the red line and used a "tough" method to cancel the qualifications of the more moderate and professional pan-democrats. , So that the more conservative citizens, especially the professional groups, are also dissatisfied.
