The special voter registration arrangement ends today (5th). This voter registration applies to the election of the Electoral Commission in September and the general election of the Legislative Council in December.

After the central government took the initiative to reform the electoral system, the composition of the electoral committee has changed drastically, and some establishments have to make strategic arrangements to avoid missing the electoral committee by mistake.

Among them, members of the Legislative Council who are also representatives of the National People’s Congress of the Hong Kong District or members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference can only serve as ex officio members of the legislature. "Double Loss".

It is reported that the two MPs who originally planned to retreat, namely the sports, performing arts, culture and publishing members Ma Fengguo and the DAB Liang Zhixiang, have signed up for optional committee members through the legislative council members, which means that they will move to the Legislative Council in the next term. The electoral committee sector "sit down for a while."

It was once rumored to resign early to retain the election committee status

The election of the new election committee was held on September 19. Ma Fengguo had proposed earlier during the deliberation stage of the Bills Committee that because he was concurrently a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, he could only be registered as a member of the Legislative Council according to the law. Of course members, in a disguised way, members who originally planned to no longer run for the general election of the Legislative Council in December will lose their qualifications as election committees when they leave office. They believe that the relevant practices are unreasonable.

The Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Zeng Guowei, explained at the time that the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference accounted for 190 seats on the election committee, which was not enough to accommodate all the Hong Kong People’s Congress and the People’s Political Consultative Conference. Therefore, some people may have to be transferred to election committees in other sectors. The relevant situation shall be dealt with as appropriate.

Ma Fengguo: Continue to support Huo Qigang to take over the performance of the performance out of bounds

In fact, if a Legislative Council member who is also a member of the National People’s Congress and the CPPCC wants to appoint an optional committee member in the NPC and CPPCC sector, he still has another option, which is to “deliver a letter” to resign before the deadline for special voter registration expires. Otherwise, he will be required to do so in accordance with the law. Registration for the Legislative Council sector.

When Ma Fengguo responded to enquiries, he confirmed that he had registered as an ex officio elector through the Legislative Council sector. He frankly stated that he "has no choice" in accordance with the law.

As for whether it means fighting for re-election in the next session?

He only said that his intention to support the Hong Kong Association and Olympic Committee Vice President Huo Qigang to take over "out of bounds" has not changed, and he emphasized that it is too early to say whether he will run for re-election.

Leung Chi-cheung said that he has also signed up to become an ex officio electoral committee of the Legislative Council member sector, and is expected to have a good chance of moving to the newly-added Legislative Council Election Committee for re-election.

In addition, the establishment "squad leader" Liao Changjiang and Tian Beichen, who are also on behalf of the political party, and the DAB Li Huiqiong and the Liberal Party Yi Zhiming, who are also the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, will also compete for re-election in the next term, so as not to become a "double loss". person".
