The Registration & Electoral Office launched the 2010 voter registration campaign today. Eligible people who have yet to register as electors should sign up by May 17.

Local permanent resident adults holding an identity document and ordinarily residing in Hong Kong are eligible for registration.

Newly registered electors can vote in future Legislative Council and District Council elections only after the final register of electors is published in July. They cannot vote in the Legislative Council by-election in May.

Registered electors should report any change in address or other registration particulars to the office by June 29. They are encouraged to provide or update their email addresses, which will be provided to candidates for sending election advertisements.
