Election Committee Election ︱ Fill in the ballots like a teahouse dim sum paper. Feng Hua mentioned that voters use "palm thunder"?

The first Election Committee election after the restructuring of the election was held today (19th). Although the number of electoral committees has increased to 1,500, the subsectors have to be contested instead of rising. Only 13 sectors are required to vote. There are 412 candidates. There are only about 4,800 eligible voters competing for 364 seats. However, there are a large number of electoral committees in subsectors. Therefore, the EAC has made two special arrangements to facilitate voting.

Different from the "tick stamp" in the Legislative Council and Chief Executive elections, the voting form of the Election Committee is designed to list the names and numbers of all candidates in a column. Voters must fill in the oval circle next to the candidate number with a black pen, like Drinking tea "fill in the dim sum paper", some sectors have to fill in 80 seats, the voting form can be described as densely packed, you must pay more attention when filling out.

As early as 2016, the EAC stated that unless there have been serious consequences in the past, it is not against the law to bring your own "palm thunder." It is not illegal to display or stay at the ticket station.

The principle of "Snack Paper" ballot is the same as the MC roll

The electoral committee’s ballots have been in use since 1998. Before the election, the Registration and Electoral Office has commissioned a contractor to update and upgrade the ballot verification and automatic counting system. After the election tonight, it will be assisted by optical mark readers. Automatic counting of votes.

The principle of "snack paper" ballots is similar to multiple-choice test papers and questionnaires. On the ballots issued, voters fill in the oval circle to the left of the candidate's name, which means that they vote for that candidate.

When scanning the ballot paper, the optical mark reader will send a beam of light to the ellipse next to the names of all candidates, which can automatically read the filled-in options on the ballot paper, and input the data into the system quickly and accurately, reducing cumbersome and manual errors.

When necessary, the system will also allow "manual" input of options on the ballot.

Voters can bring a list of candidates to enter the New Territories District Committee sector to fill 80 seats

Among the 13 sectors to be contested this time, there is no shortage of candidates or subsectors with a large number of seats. For example, "New Territories Area Committee, District Fight Crime Committee, and District Fire Protection Committee member representatives" have 80 seats, "Hong Kong and Kowloon There are also 76 members of the area committees, district fight crime committees and district fire protection committees, while the "labour sector" has 60 seats.

Under the "unity vote system" voting method, voters can vote for no more than the seats they belong to, that is, voters in the "labor sector" can vote for a maximum of 60 candidates, which is definitely more difficult than going to a tea shop to order snacks .

Feng Hua mentioned at the candidate briefing session last month that due to the large number of candidates in the election, voters can bring a piece of paper containing the list or number of their favorite candidates.

He emphasized that there is no problem in principle with the relevant approach, but voters are not allowed to show paper to other people in the voting station. After voting, they must take the paper away from the voting station. Otherwise, it may violate the election law.
