Fukien-speaking Chinese Arrive At Polling Stations by Coach; Election Manager Ignore Complaints

At around 8am, a group of Fukien-speaking Chinese appeared in two polling stations in Tuen Mun. They took pictures outside the polling stations.

According to residents from the area, these Chinese mainlanders arrived by coaches. Some went inside the polling stations to vote while some wandered around the area.

As photo-taking in the area of the polling station is not allowed, the pro-democracy candidate made complaint to the election manager. The manager, however, said they were busy and did not see it happening.

Personal Information Stolen and “become” voter from Pro-Beijing Camp

A citizen revealed to Apple daily that while registering to be an eligible voter, he was told by the Registration and Electoral Office that his personal information has already been registered by the “Hong Kong Wenchang Clansman Association” two years ago, and he has become a registered voter before he had personally submitted his information. The citizen was furious that his information has been used by someone else, and he suspected that his personal information has been stolen by other parties.

The Hong Kong Wenchang Clansman Association has a close relationship with the Pro-Establishment camp. In their website, the Hong Kong Wenchang Clansman Association has declared itself to be “Holding a vibrant and clear pro-China and pro-Hong Kong stand and supporting the legislation and administration of the Hong Kong Government.” It has around 11,000 members.

Members of pro-establishment camp lure old lady on wheel chair to vote for their candidate. The old lady claimed she has no clue who she wanted to vote for but the group persuaded her with trickeries.

The intent of street stations is to allow the public to know more about the candidate and the volunteers are not allowed to lure civilians, especially the ones who are unsure of their stance.

The Pro-China Strategy: Gifts, Hinting Cards, Free Rides (1)

Today is the District Council Election Day. Until 20:30, over 2.7 million people have cast their vote, with a record-high 66.5% turnout rate. Although many had described this as a referendum and a test of the popular will, vote-rigging was a common practice by the pro-establishment to earn local seats. This is how they do it.

1. Bribery
Using funds from the District Council Office and Liaison Office, a body of the Central Government, Pro-China candidates often offered advantages to voters as a reward or an inducement to vote at the elections. This practice was often summarized in the phrase “snake soup, vegetarian dishes, biscuits, dumplings.” To rally support from middle-aged and elderly people, these organizations often provide community activities, benefits, including food gifts, and visits to temples. Before elections, they often pay home visits to hand out gift bags and presents.

In this election, photos leaked with candidates and Clansman Associations, which were considered Pro-China, transporting bags of rice and gifts. In some districts, elderly people could be seen carrying similar boxes and gift bags when they came out of polling stations. These suspected cases of bribery, if not given a reasonable excuse, are considered corrupt under the Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Conduct) Ordinance (Cap. 554).

Ballots stamped twice still considered valid;
Electoral Affairs Commission: it depends on the will of the voter

1228 | The Chairman of the Electoral Affairs Commission, Barnabas Fung, stated that the total voting rate for yesterday’s District Council Election exceeded 71%. Currently, only the number of votes in Lam Tin, Kwun Tong have yet to be counted. The election results for other districts have already been published online. According to the chairman, overall, thanks to the patience and understanding of the citizens, both the voting and vote counting process were extremely smooth. Further feedback would be used to notify the commission for room for further improvement in future elections, and an official report for yesterday’s election will be submitted to the Chief Executive within three months.

He added that as at 22:30, the Electoral Officers have received a total of 7460 complaints. 2000 of them involved the arrangements of the election. 1200 complaints involved advertising campaigns of the election. 500 complaints involved vote soliciting campaigns. When asked why some election officers had ruled some “problem ballots” with 2 stamps as valid, and whether such a practice would impede the fairness of the election, Fung said there are clear laws that dictate the definition of a “problem ballot”.

For example, the law requires voters to stamp a tick within the circle provided on the ballot. If the voter’s stamp crosses the boundary of the circle, as long as the will of the voter is clear, it is still considered as a valid vote. As for excessive markings on a ballot, it would depend on the reason why such markings exist. He highlighted that if citizens are skeptical of the election results, they should raise their suspicions through an election petition.
