The consultation for the Constitutional Development Task Force's third report ended today with over 430 public submissions received.
Among them, more than 90 were from organisations and the rest from individuals. All the submissions, except those requesting confidentiality, will be published when the fourth report is issued.
Between May and August, the task force commissioned the Central Policy Unit and the Home Affairs Department to organise 12 seminars and focus group discussions, which saw over 870 participants attend. These included four regional forums and discussion groups arranged for young people and the expatriate community.
The task force plans to publish the fourth report by year's end. It will then further consult the public on changes to be made to the electoral arrangements for 2007 and 2008, with a view to formulating a proposal that is feasible and acceptable to the community at large.
