DC election poll cards mailed

The Registration & Electoral Office today said it has mailed poll cards for the District Council Ordinary Election to about 4.33 million registered electors to inform them of where they should cast their votes on December 10.   Electors who have not received their poll cards may log in to the Online Voter Information Enquiry System to check whether they are registered electors and their designated polling stations, the office said.   District Council geographical constituency (DCGC) electors will be allocated to ordinary polling stations in the vicinity of their registered addresses. Polling hours will be from 8.30am to 10.30pm.   District Committees constituency (DCC) electors will be assigned to the polling stations of the DCCs to which they belong. The polling hours will be from 8.30am to 2.30pm. They will also receive a reminder on the poll card envelope that the DCC and DCGC vote will take place at two different polling stations with different polling hours.

National Games office established

The Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau announced today the setting up of a co-ordination office to carry out planning and implementation work for the upcoming National Games, National Games for Persons with Disabilities and National Special Olympic Games.

 

The National Games Coordination Office, led by three senior directorate officers, will work closely with the governments of Guangdong and the Macao Special Administration Region to co-organise the 15th National Games.

          

The State Council announced in August 2021 that the 15th National Games are to be co-hosted in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau in 2025, the first time Hong Kong will have co-hosted the National Games.

 

The three locations will also co-host the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games after the 15th National Games are held.

      

The Hong Kong SAR Organising Committee of the 15th National Games was formed in May, with the Chief Executive as its Patron, the Chief Secretary as Chairman and the Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism as Secretary General. The committee’s job is to provide policy direction and oversee preparations for events to be staged in Hong Kong.

 

Additionally, a Steering Committee chaired by the Permanent Secretary for Culture, Sports & Tourism, with support from various co-ordinating committees, will be set up in the fourth quarter of this year to carry out work in different areas.

 

These include matters relating to immigration; security and accreditation; media, publicity and community relations; transport and traffic arrangements; and medical services.
