Tour buses with pro-Beijing candidate ads escort elderly to vote
Using tour buses to escort senior citizens to vote is nothing new, according to reader Ms. Lai, who saw such buses going in and out of polling areas every 15 mins. Every time, more than 10 elderly and disabled people could be seen getting off the bus.
One bus held the ad of incumbent pro-Beijing district councilor, WONG Yiu-chung of Business and Professional Alliance for Hong Kong. Lai blasted that, “If you’re actually being nice and escorting the elderly to vote, then you should not display the ad of your candidate while doing it.” She pointed out that this was unfair to other candidates.

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).

2. Voter Impersonation
In the past, as non-voters received voter registration letters and the press reviewed the registers of voters, reports came out with people being impersonating. They often used fake address and identity to vote, using the information of deceased people, fictitious person or even actual living person. Repeat voting is also heard, although with much fewer reports.

Investigative: Single Elderly Being Impersonated? Electoral Office replied “wrong information”
In this investigation, a fake identity “Mr Wong Jun” was unveiled as the relatives of deceased Miss Lam, a single elderly, make an inquiry after receiving a registration letter about him in Miss Lam’s old address. The Electoral Office simply replied, “Sorry for having filled wrong information.”
Suspicion aroused around voter impersonation in this election. As new identity cards are issued this year, many voters have to recheck their information in the electoral office. Moreover, an injunction order by the High Court prohibited the publication of the final registry, making the press unable to monitor the electoral process.
As election day drew nearer, more information unveiled suspected cases of voter impersonation.

Events today added to the scepticism of the public. Apart from people claimed to mainland media, who usually never report the elections, set up cameras outside polling stations, a group of Fukien-speaking Chinese arrived in polling stations by coach. These mainlanders entered the stations and cast their votes. When pan-democracy candidates complained to the election managers, they simply replied that they were busy.

3. Direct stuffing
As votes have to be counted at the spot, cases of direct stuffing votes are little. However, citizens found a ballot box in district council office of a DAB candidate, to whom the candidate explained that was just a prop.
