Electoral Affairs Commission Chairman Justice Pang Kin-kee has appealed to Election Committee members to cast their votes in the Chief Executive Election March 25.

 

Mr Pang reiterated that the votes will be cast by secret ballot, adding that no record will be made of the particular ballot paper issued to an elector, and no serial numbers will be printed.

 

The first round of voting will start at 9am and close at 11am. The manual counting of votes will start after the poll closes. The candidate who has obtained more than half of the total number of valid votes cast will be elected. Only when no candidate obtains an absolute majority of votes will there be another round of voting.

 

Members of the public can observe the counting process from a designated area inside Hall 2. As the first round of voting will not close until 11am, people need not arrive at the counting station too early.
