Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki and Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung today met civil service groups to discuss motivating civil servants to cast their votes to support the Legislative Council General Election on December 7.

During the meeting, staff-side representatives from the four civil service central consultative councils, and representatives from the four major service-wide staff unions pledged their full mobilisation to support the LegCo poll.

They also reported on the election-related publicity work to promote voting among civil servants.

Following the meeting, Mr Chan and Mrs Yeung, along with civil service unions’ representatives, visited multiple floors of the Queensway Government Offices. They urged colleagues from various departments to vote in the LegCo election.

Mr Chan said as members of the Government, civil servants should lead by example by voting, demonstrating through their actions their support for the Government in administering Hong Kong and their efforts to encourage all voters to cast their votes.

Mrs Yeung supplemented that on polling day, civil servants on duty across various posts will strive to ensure that the election proceeds in a fair, impartial, honest, safe and orderly manner.

Arrangements have been made to enable civil servants to cast their votes, she added.
