In the last week of the nomination period for the general election of the Legislative Council, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said before attending the executive meeting this morning (9th) that a total of 111 nomination forms have been received as of last night. I believe that a certain number of applications will still be received in the next four days. A wide range of representative people are willing to stand for election.

She eagerly hopes that the election will be conducted in a fair and impartial manner and that candidates can have healthy competition. She also pointed out that the qualification review committee has begun to review the candidates and will be completed before the 26th of this month.


Lam Cheng said that the government has arranged for more than 10 senior executive officers to be seconded to the Registration and Electoral Office. On the day of the election, 36,000 people will be mobilized, including current and retired civil servants, as well as public officials familiar with the election procedures to ensure the smooth conduct of the election day.

Lin Zheng emphasized that we must improve the link where the problem occurred last time, including ensuring that there are enough ticket distribution desks, and handling the transportation, invoicing, and distribution of ballot boxes, so as to hold a fair, just, efficient and humane election. .
