Interview with a female voter outside Tse Wan Shan voting centre
Watch Video
Reporter: Why are you coming to vote at this hour?
Voter: It is a last-minute decision as I initially thought I could not make it. I decided to come to vote to make my voice heard. People of my age have been so used to keeping quiet and swallowing our discontentment. But, this time, I want to let it out.
Reporter: The government issued two statements within 24 hours to announce their disapproval of this referendum. What’s your view on the government’s action?
Voter: It is my right to cast a vote. The Government cannot take this right from me.
Reporter: Details of the National Security Law have been announced earlier today. Did you feel being pressured and hesitated to come out and vote?
Voter: Yes, I do feel the pressure. But I hope more citizens can come out to show our disapproval and solidarity.
Reporter: Then, is the announcement on details of National Security Law a trigger for you to come and vote?
Voter: Not really. I have not read about the details announced today. To me, the law is problematic so it stays problematic be it with or without details.
