Legislative Council elections have announced the results of direct regional elections. Before this election, the authorities amended the "Elections Ordinance" to prohibit calling on others not to vote or to vote in vain. This has made the number of invalid votes including vain votes a concern.

The "01 Research Institute" compared the number of voters and the total votes of each candidate, and estimated that the number of uncounted questions this year reached 27,000, accounting for about 27,000 votes. 2.02%, the ratio is the highest ever.
Among the ten constituencies, the Northeast New Territories, Central Kowloon and East Hong Kong Island had the most votes not counted.
