More Police Officers than Voters for Sunday's CE Election Committee Vote
An election for the election committee for the coming Chief Executive election will be held this Sunday, September 19. Police said that more than 5,000 officers will be deployed to patrol the voting stations and "high-risk locations".
According to government records, eligible voters for this election number less than 8,000. As many sectors had only one candidate for each seat and are thus automatically decided, only 13 sectors with 364 seats need to go through the election process, resulting in a maximum of 4,889 voters voting tomorrow.

CE Election Committee Candidate Sets Up Promotion Booth, But Tells Citizens "Most People Don't Need to Participate"
An election for the election committee for the upcoming Chief Executive election will be held Sunday, September 19. This will be the first election after China revamped the city's election rules earlier this year.
Many seats are set to go uncontested, as their sectors only had a single candidate nominated per seat; nevertheless, it does not stop the candidates from setting up promotional street booths. Convenor of the Executive Council Bernard Chan, who is to be automatically elected onto the committee in the Social Welfare sector, handed out pamphlets at his street booth outside the Shek Tong Tsui Market.
Many seniors seemed puzzled by the new election rules. An elderly lady received a pamphlet from Chan and asked, "Why is there no [candidate] name?"
In response, Chan explained: "Most people - unless they're voters in the sector - don't need to participate next week."
