Boundary and Election Commission
Criticism
(probably unlikely) Government should retain these
powers.
Answer
Proposal has consensus support in LegCo.
Recommendations on boundaries will be made to
Governor. Government will retain policy-making
powers.
Right that an impartial body should make
administrative arrangements for elections and oversee
their conduct.
Election Committee
Criticism
A surrogate for more geographical constituencies.
Election Committee should be modelled on BL.
Making DB members the electors is contrary to BL 97
which states that district organisations are not
organs of political power,
