The number of voters registered for the Election Committee subsectors and functional constituencies rose 8.93% and 8.23% over last year. But the figure for geographical constituencies fell 0.92%, according to the three final registers of electors for 2006.

For the Election Committee subsectors, the final register carries 220,307 voters. They are eligible to vote at the subsector elections in December. The final register for the functional constituencies carries 215,551 electors.

The final register for the geographical constituencies carries 3,185,927 electors, which saw the slight fall due to electors who had died or had not reported their latest residential addresses to the Registration & Electoral Office.
