Electoral Affairs Commission

Welcome to this Homepage. You are entering a tour of the electoral arrangements of Hong Kong, and to be exact, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China since 1 July 1997, when China resumed the exercise of its sovereignty over Hong Kong.

The Electoral Affairs Commission ("EAC") is a statutory body established under the EAC Ordinance and there are three members. They are Mr Lawrence Lok, Professor Andrew Chan and myself. The EAC is an independent, apolitical and impartial body.

Our main tasks are to make recommendations on the delineation of Legislative Council and District Council constituency boundaries in Hong Kong and to make regulations, guidelines and arrangements for the conduct of public elections in Hong Kong, including the registration of electors. We also supervise all the elections. Our main aim is to ensure that elections are conducted honestly, fairly and openly.
