Hong Kong Journalist Association requests access to Registers Lists by all media
The Hong Kong Journalist Association has opposed the rule that only government-approved media is allowed to access the Provisional Registers and Omissions List. In an appeal letter to the Chief Executive, the Association expressed concerns that the discriminating system will limit the media's ability to monitor the election, and demanded the government to reconsider the policy.
The Provisional Registers and Omissions List reveals Hong Kong voters’ names and residential addresses in the public.
The public used to have access to the list, until the Junior Police Officers Association applied for a judicial review to restrict its accessibility in order to prevent doxxing of police officers. The court now ruled that only government-approved media is allowed access.

記協去信林鄭月娥 反對只讓已向政府登記的傳媒查閱選民登記冊
記者協會去信行政長官林鄭月娥，反對政制及內地事務局只是讓獲政府認證的傳媒，查閱選民登記冊的安排，認為會限制傳媒監察選舉的功能，擔心政府以此收窄記者的定義，變相推行官方發證和識別制度，要求特首責成官員重新制訂政策。
