FAQs :
Who can register?
If you are a Hong Kong permanent resident aged 18 or above, and ordinarily reside in Hong Kong, you are eligible to sign up as geographical constituency elector.
Why should I register?
Only after you have registered as an elector can you exercise your right to vote in the Legislative Council and District Council elections. It is your right to elect your representative to sit on these bodies.
If you are eligible to vote in the Election Committee subsector elections, you also need to register as a voter before you can vote at the elections.
Are there any safeguards against possible abuse of my personal data?
You are rest assured that information provided by an elector will only be used for voter registration and election related purposes. The Registration and Electoral Office has adopted every possible means to ensure that such data will not be misused.
Registers that are published for public inspection contain only the name and residential address of registered persons but not their identity card number or sex.
Using any information on a register for a purpose other than a purpose related to an election is an offence under the current electoral law, and is liable to a fine at level 2 and to imprisonment for six months.
