Carrie Lam Uses Emergency Law to Delay Hong Kong's Legislative Election for One Year, Further Arrangement to be Made by Beijing
The Hong Kong SAR Government announced the postponement of the Legislative Election one day after 12 pro-democracy candidates, including incumbent lawmakers of Civic Party, were barred from running in the election.
The HKSAR government has particularly cited the difficulty for 600,000 senior citizens and registered Hong Kong voters in China to cast their ballots during the coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong.
This is the second time Carrie Lam invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance in less than a year. In October 2019, the HKSAR government bypassed the legislature to enforce a mask ban at the height of the Anti-ELAB movement.
In a survey result released by Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#PORI) on the same day, 73% of the respondents with a pro-democracy orientation did not want to postpone the LegCo election.
The nomination period ends on 31 July, but many nominees have yet to receive any confirmation of their candidacy.
Tam Yiu Chung, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, had stated on 21 July that many Hong Kong citizens had moved to the Greater Bay Area, and have no permanent residence in Hong Kong. According to data from the Census and Statistics Department, as of mid-2019, about 540 thousand Hong Kong citizens usually stay in Guangdong Province, with only 129 thousand (24 %) being part of Hong Kong's resident population.
According to article 28 of the Legislative Council Ordinance, "A natural person is not eligible to be registered as an elector in the register of geographical constituencies unless, at the time of applying for registration, the person satisfies the Electoral Registration Officer that the person ordinarily resides in Hong Kong; and that the residential address notified in the person’s application for registration is the person’s only or principal residence in Hong Kong.
For the time being, the new date Carrie Lam set for the Legislative Election is September 5, 2021.

EU pays close attention to the postponement of Legislative Council elections in Hong Kong
EU continues to support Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, in accordance with the “one country, two systems” principle. However, the EU has agreed on options for drawing the consequences of the new situation in Hong Kong as set out in the Council conclusions of 24 July.
The proposed postponement by one year of the elections to the Legislative Council through recourse to emergency powers and the recent disqualification of pro-democracy candidates, including sitting lawmakers call into question the exercise of the democratic rights and freedoms guaranteed under Hong Kong’s Basic Law.

HK's Democratic Party to entrust a third party to conduct a public survey to decide whether to serve the extended LegCo terms arranged by Beijing
Citing the coronavirus pandemic, the HKSAR government postponed the Legislative Council Election, originally supposed to take place in September 2020, for a year last month. Despite the criticism of intervening Hong Kong's affairs, China's Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) has announced the extension of the term of incumbent lawmakers by a year. The pro-democracy front in Hong Kong is currently caught in a dilemma of whether to serve or boycott the coming LegCo term.
On 20 August, 2020, Democratic Party announced to entrust a creditable polling organisation to conduct a public scientific survey and emphasised to respect public opinion as to the basis of their final decision.
Chairman Wu Chi-wai stated that even the Democratic Party tended to stay, they would let the public decide if they stay or boycott.
Seven incumbents lawmakers from Democratic Party include Wu Chi-wai, James To Kun-sum, Lam Cheuk-ting, Helena Wong Pik-wan, Roy Kwong Chun-Yu, Ted Hui Chi-Fung, and Andrew Wan Siu-kin.
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) has conducted a relevant latelt and the results are to be published on 21 August 2020. HKPORI deputy CEO Chung Kim-wah stated that the result might have high deviation since the survey sampling is not universal and therefore it can only be taken as a reference . Thus, another representative public survey will be arranged, and the result should be ready before 30 September, berfore this term of Legislative Council officially ends.
Some incumbent lawmakers in the democratic front released a joint declaration on 17 August concerning their intent o stay on. However, Raymond Chan Chi-Chuen from People Power and Eddie Chi Hoi-dick from Council Front have expressed their stance openly that they would boycott the next council. Cheng Chung-tai from Civic Passion has already declared that he would stay.
[Editor's note:
Civic Party stated in a press conference held on the evening of August 2p that they inclined to stay in the council but will support the Democratic Party's proposal by letting the public decide in an opinion poll.]
