The election of the Legislative Council is less than a month away from the polling day, and the border crossing ticket station for mainland Hong Kong residents has been preliminarily finalized.

It is reported that the three ports of Luohu, Lok Ma Chau, and Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai, which have been closed due to the epidemic, will set up borders.

Leung Choi-ting, director-general of the Federation of Civil Service Unions, estimates that each port ticketing station must have at least more than 100 staff. He believes that if the arrangement is hasty, the appointed civil servants must come from other districts.


He pointed out that colleagues at the polling station usually report at 6:30 in the morning. He believes that while ensuring the right to vote for mainland Hong Kong people, it is also necessary to ensure that these civil servants can vote in their constituencies. During the two-hour meal period, may I return (for residential areas) to vote?"


Leung Choi-ting also pointed out that mainland Hong Kong people who go to the port polling station to vote are basically "no borders." "The original residence (registered constituency) can be an outlying island or the New Territories of Kowloon. A lot of time", so the arrangement is different from ordinary ticketing stations. Even though many civil servants have ticketing station work experience, they can only rely on live combat at the port ticketing station. The time is tight, and even if there is training, it is just "speaking of one thing." , I believe it will be very complicated in operation.

Union: Public servants are sent to the port ticketing station "no choice"

Liang Choi-ting pointed out that no civil servants have been assigned to work at the port ticketing station. I believe the authorities will announce it together with the ticketing station arrangements.

This polling day involves 38,000 people. He pointed out that the number of civil servants who volunteered to work at the polling station this year has greatly reduced, and it is not like in previous years that they can choose their own work areas. "So it has reached the second round. The family must have failed to meet the standards and owed people." It is estimated that some civil servants will receive a notice directly later, and they will be assigned to work at the port ticketing station on the polling day.

Leung Chuo-ting said that the arrangement was chaotic this year. Now he has received many complaints, "There are civil servants who live in Heng Tau Hom and are sent to the Stanley ticketing station, and they are in disorder to order the mandarin ducks." The port ticketing station is more remote, Liang expected. The authorities will arrange special car transfers, but emphasize that it is necessary to "return to the right to vote, from 6:30 (in the morning) to 10 (in the evening), it is impossible to vote."
