Legislative Council Election ︱ Information on candidates from the Southeastern New Territories sent to the Northwest New Territories EAC: the contractor made a mistake

The Legislative Council election will be held on December 19. The Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Northwest New Territories candidate Zhou Hao Ting and the southeastern New Territories candidate Li Sai Wing held a press conference today (3rd), saying that voters in the northwestern New Territories have received information from candidates in the southwestern New Territories and requested The Registration and Electoral Office corrected and clarified.

The Registration and Electoral Office responded that the incident involved a human error in the packaging of information by the contractor, which led to the mistakenly sending a profile of a candidate from another constituency to dozens of voters.

Zhou Haoding pointed out that the incident of sending the wrong candidate information is a serious mistake.

Residents of Tuen Mun receive information on constituency in Southeastern New Territories

Zhou Hao Ting said that he received reports from residents of Tuen Mun that they received election mails from the government that contained profiles of candidates in the southeast of the New Territories. Such mistakes would confuse voters’ information and would be unfair to candidates in the district. They demanded the political system and the Mainland. The Secretariat immediately corrected it and asked Feng Hua, the chairman of the Electoral Management Committee, to clarify.

Li Shirong said that he received a notice from the Registration and Electoral Office last night that all candidates for geographical constituencies can revise the "Introduction to Candidates" on or before December 6.

Li Shirong pointed out that such a situation had never happened before. He believed that allowing amendments meant that candidates could refer to their opponent's information to make amendments, which resulted in unfair elections.

Regarding the wrong candidate information, the Registration and Electoral Office stated that after investigation, it was discovered that the relevant contractor had made a human error in the process of packaging the information, so that the candidate's profile from another constituency was mistakenly sent to dozens of voters.

The Registration and Electoral Office is arranging to resend the correct candidate profile to the affected voters as soon as possible, and apologizes to the affected voters.
