He said:
Sir,
I move that the Legislative Council (Electoral Provisions) (Amendment) Bill 1988 be read a second time.
三
The principal purpose of the Bill is to encourage as many eligible voters as possible to vote in the functional constituency elections to the Legislative Council in September this year. To this end, the Bill
(thi seeks to make special arrangements to enable those who are not yet registered as electors on the General Electoral Roll, but who are eligible to do so, to be registered as electors on the Legislative Council Electoral Roll. This will in turn make them eligible to nominate, or be nominated as candidates. These are special arrangements because, under existing legislation, a person is not entitled to be registered as an elector for the Legislative Council elections unless he is already registered on the General Electoral Roll.
Sir
or
The Administration will be examining, in the
longer term, whether it should remain a requirement for a person to be included on the General Electoral Roll before he may be registered on the Legislative Council Electoral. Roll.
