HK Government attempts to loosen up election law to allow permanent citizens living in China to cast ballots in its offices in China
The 2020 Hong Kong Legislative Council election was originally scheduled on 6 September 2020 until it was postponed by the government for a whole year to 5 September 2021. An amendment bill to existing Elections Ordinance was reportedly prepared for LegCo deliberation next month.
The amendment bill was said to enable Hong Kong citizens residing in Mainland to vote. As well, “priority lanes”were proposed to facilitate not only elderlies but staff members of ballot office, and members of disciplined forces, including Hong Kong Police to cast their votes.
A source revealed that under the amendment, Hong Kong permanent residents living on the mainland would be allowed to cast ballots in polling stations set up at the city government’s offices there, without having to travel back to the city. The source said, “the Hong Kong government’s offices in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai are likely to be the locations where the first batch of polling stations on the mainland will be set up.”
