Why?
Currently, the pro-Beijing camp dominates the legislature and the consequences are grave.
1. Every bill in the interest of China was supported without considering Hong Kong people, such. Examples include the extradition bill and the anti-subversion law "article 23".
2. The pro-Beijing camp and the Establishment cover up for one another and go against universal values. For example, they ignored public opinion and rejected the pro-democracy camp's proposal to impreach Carrie Lam.
3. The Improper use of tax-payers' money, as in over- budget infrastructure projects, such as Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Lantau Tomorrow Vision. The latest controversy involved the council passing a budget plan of HKD 27 billion to the police force to upgrade their weapons.

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.

How Hongkongers Respond to "Patriots-Only" #Election
After having been postponed for more than a year by the authorities, the Legislative Election took place in Hong Kong on December 19, 2021, when the majority of the city's pro-democracy camp are detained, jailed, or exiled. Prior to the election, public polls have shown that Hong Kong citizens expressed little interest in the "Patriots-Only" election.

While the authorities have sent at least one SMS to the population (including non-voters) encouraging them to vote, at least ten civilians have been arrested for "inciting" others to cast #BlankVote or invalid vote. In addition, at least five exiled activists are wanted by the Hong Kong government for encouraging the public to boycottt the election.

Around noon, it was reported that over 900 #ICAC staff were deployed in different polling stations to ensure that the election is conducted in a "just and fair" manner. Earlier, the authorities announced that polling staff were forbidden from wearing yellow masks and anyone wearing an outfit with phrases like "Add Oil Hong Kong" would be asked to remove or cover it.

Ms Ng, in her sixties, told Stand News that "everyone knows" the agenda of the authorities behind offering free public transport on the Election Day. [Editor's note: Voters are always assigned to a polling station nearest to their residential address.] Regarding thd candidates in the nicknamed "Patriots-only" election, Ms Ng said, "I don't even know just one of them!"
Ms Ng added that the [goverment's] act would be futile, "Elderly like us only think about hiking, not voting."
Meanwhile, huge crowds were spotted at amusement parks like #DisneyLand and #OceanPark. Some tourists claimed that they have never seen so many people in the park.
This year, in Taikoo Shing, a residential area on Hong Kong Island East, the polling station was relatively 'empty' when compared to the 2016 LegCo Election and the 2019 District Council Election. Back then, voters had to line up and wait before casting their ballot. This year, there were more people queuing at the bus station.
Pro-Beijing figure Lo Man-sui, who occupied positions in CCP organizations like the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, said that "The winning of all 90 seats by the Pro-Establishment Camp would go against the original intent of the Central Government."
#TedHui, now-exiled former lawmaker in pro-democracy camp, answered the call by #HongKongWatch, uploading a photo of himself holding a sign that reads #ReleaseMyCandidate. Hui added that those who can represent Hongkongers' voices are in jail, and that ths only thing a Hongkonger can do is to boycott the election.
