Electors urged to confirm status

November 17, 2015

Electoral Affairs Commission Chairman Justice Barnabas Fung has urged electors to confirm their registration status before casting their votes at the District Council election on November 22.

 

Mr Fung visited a mock polling station at Leighton Hill Community Hall today.

 

He said electors can the check their voter registration information by calling the election hotline 2891 1001 or by logging on to the Online Voter Information Enquiry System.

 

Mr Fung also reminded electors to follow the proper voting procedures and reiterated the importance of safeguarding vote secrecy.

 

"Electors should mark their ballot papers by themselves inside a voting compartment. An elector in need may ask the Presiding Officer or his deputy to mark the ballot paper on his behalf, in the presence of a polling staff as witness," he said.

 

Electors are advised not to use mobile phones or other electronic communication devices, take photographs, or make video or audio recordings in a polling station.

 

Distributing election advertisements and displaying propaganda material inside polling stations is also prohibited, Mr Fung added.
