The Election Committee, which has greatly upgraded its functions after the restructuring, will hold subsector elections next month, and the nomination period will begin this Friday (6th).
In the last election, the democrats won more than 320 electoral committee seats and successfully grabbed a number of seats in various professional sectors, including all seats in the information technology, legal, and social welfare sectors. However, time has changed and the situation has changed. The pandemic's willingness to stand in the election is very low.
The New Election Committee changed all individual votes to group votes and added ex officio seats. "Hong Kong 01" asked a number of electoral committees dominated by democrats, including legal, medical, social welfare, etc., and industry participants. The election intention is obviously not as good as that of the last term. Many current optional committee members have stated that they will not compete for re-election, including the legal profession Leung Jiajie, the medical profession Cai Jian, and Huang Renkuang.
However, there may still be sporadic candidates in individual sectors, among which 2 to 3 members of the Nurses Association are interested in the election.

The new election committee has increased to 1,500 people and is divided into five major sectors. The second sector, the "professional sector," originally belonged to the pan-democratic vote warehouse, but after the electoral system was revised, the space that the democrats can capture has greatly narrowed.
The legal profession, which has always been monopolized by the democrats, has 30 seats originally elected by one person, one vote in the industry. Now it has been changed to 6 ex officio seats, which are appointed by the Hong Kong members of the Basic Law Committee, and 9 seats are nominated by the Hong Kong directors of the Chinese Law Society; the remaining 15 seats are elected by the Hong Kong Council of the Chinese Law Society. The designated legal body is elected, and the situation where the democrats took all in the past will definitely no longer be the case.
The current legislative election committee and chairman of the Civic Party, Liang Jiajie, stated that he would not run for the election again, saying that he had served as an election committee for many years and should leave the opportunity to the "new force." DAB Barrister) It’s good to be a mistress.” He said that many people in the legal profession are still interested in running for the election committee, sarcastically saying: “I don’t worry about it at all. There are so many people in droves... New personnel, new style, new Hong Kong. !"
2 to 3 people from the Nursing Association are interested in participating in the election
The medical and health services sectors, which previously occupied 30 seats each, will be merged into the same sector, with a total of 30 seats, of which 15 are ex officio seats and will be chaired by the Chairman of the Hospital Authority, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong and the Faculty of Medicine of the Chinese University. Only 15 seats were elected by the election.
Former Xinglin Awakening member and medical election committee member Huang Renkuang stated to "Hong Kong 01" that he had no intention of participating in the election of the Election Committee, describing it as "nothing to do" and he did not want to comment more.
Hong Kong Nurses Association Central Executive Committee Finance Liang Yao said that the Nursing Association will hold a meeting this Thursday (5th), when the members will express their willingness to participate in the election, and the Nursing Association will support the election of members. As far as he knows, there are currently 2 to 3 members. Members were interested in participating in the election, and the response was not as enthusiastic as the last one, but the actual number of candidates still needs to be confirmed at the meeting.
Some members of the Nursing Association said that the electoral reform has a certain impact on members’ desire to participate in the election committee. Originally, there were already 30 seats in the health service sector, but after the reform, it was merged with doctors, and the electoral seats accounted for only 15 seats. Seat.
