After receiving information from the employers, the REO would send a notification to each eligible employee already registered on the General Electoral Roll (GER) inviting them to allow himself to be registered in one of the nine new FCs according to the main line of business of their employers.

For an employee who is not registered on the GER, a combined registration form for registration under the geographical and new functional constituencies will be sent to him via his employer. The completed forms should be returned to the REO direct.
Meanwhile, as part of a publicity package on FC voter registration, a series of television APIs (Announcements in the Public Interest) and printed materials including a poster, a leaflet and a wall chart have been produced.
A TV API, aimed at strengthening the appeal to employers to help the REO in registering their employees in the new FC, will be broadcast from tomorrow (Friday).
Another API, which features people from different trades and introduces to the public what the nine new FCs are, will be shown shortly.
Copies of a leaflet and a wall chart explaining concisely the registration procedures in the form of a flow chart are now available free of charge at district offices and the REO sub- office, 10th floor, Guardian House, 32 Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai.
