The Legislative Council election will be held on the 19th of next month. A minority of democrats successfully entered the election. Among them, Liu Zhuoyu, who is running for the Southwestern New Territories, said today (28th) that the application for free post of election mail has not been received after 4 working days. The Returning Officer approved, but the letter from his organizational opponent has been delivered to voters. He questioned whether it would constitute an unfair election.
Liu Zhuoyu pointed out that there are more electoral districts in the district council elections in 2019. The election letter was approved within two days at that time, which is very different from this time.
He has sent a letter to the chairman of the Election Management Committee reflecting this incident, worrying that the letter will not be delivered before the polling day.

Liu Zhuoyu wrote on Facebook that there were as many as 452 constituencies for district council elections that year, and it was an anti-regulation incident. It took only two days for the Registration and Electoral Office and Hongkong Post to approve his application for free mailing of elections, but This time, he applied for more than 9 o'clock in the morning last Tuesday. Four working days have passed and he still has not received a reply from the Returning Officer for approval.
He mentioned that while waiting for the approval, the election letters of the political parties had already been received and opened by the residents, "even sent directly to the trash can."
He emphasized that before submitting the sample of promotional materials, he and his team have repeatedly confirmed that the mail complies with all relevant Hongkong Post regulations, and questioned why the application was "smeared."
Send a letter to the EAC worry that the letter will not be delivered before the polling day
Liu Zhuoyu wrote to Feng Hua, chairman of the EAC today, mentioning that four days have passed since his application, but the returning officer in charge has not yet commented. Given that the opponent’s election mail has already arrived, and the deadline on December 3 is approaching, he is worried. His letter could not be delivered before the polling day, causing injustice, calling on the EAC to order the Registration and Electoral Office to follow up.
