57 registrations determined valid

January 26, 2022

The Candidate Eligibility Review Committee (CERC) declared, by notice in the gazette today, the names of the 57 Election Committee (EC) ex-officio members who were determined to be validly registered.

 

The current term EC has 337 ex-officio members.

 

All of the 90 Legislative Council members may register as ex-officio members in the Members of the LegCo subsector.

 

According to the law, the sixth-term LegCo members who are re-elected need not register again if they are already registered EC ex-officio members.

 

After the 2021 LegCo General Election was successfully held, the Registration & Electoral Office (REO) had received a total of 51 registration forms from newly elected LegCo members.

 

After review, the CERC determined the registrations of these 51 LegCo members are valid.

 

In addition, two retired members of the sixth-term LegCo are Hong Kong Special Administrative Region members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

 

In their capacities as Hong Kong SAR members of the National Committee of the CPPCC, they had submitted registrations forms as ex-officio members in the Hong Kong SAR deputies to the National People's Congress and Hong Kong SAR members of the CPPCC National Committee subsector.

 

After review, the CERC also determined these two registrations are valid.

 

Meanwhile, the REO had received four registrations of ex-officio members arising from changes of holders of specified offices involving legal, social welfare, education as well as architectural, surveying, planning & landscape subsectors.

 

These registrations are also valid.
