Electoral Affairs Commission Chairman David Lok tonight conducted a briefing for candidates of the 2025 Election Committee Subsector (ECSS) By-elections on the electoral arrangements, and key points to note in running their election campaigns.

The ECSS By-elections will be held on September 7, when 28 candidates will contest for 21 seats in six contested subsectors.

At the briefing, Mr Lok highlighted the by-election arrangements and points to note, such as the no canvassing zone and no staying zone at each polling station, central counting, announcement of election results, digitalisation of election forms, election expenses and donations, and election advertisements.

Additionally, a representative from the Independent Commission Against Corruption briefed the candidates about the Elections (Corrupt & Illegal Conduct) Ordinance to enhance their understanding of the acts that may constitute corrupt or illegal conducts.

Furthermore, a Hongkong Post representative gave the candidates a brief overview of the arrangements for free postage service for election mail.
