REO receives information on over Im employees for voter registration
As at yesterday (March 15), returns from employers covering over 1.03 million employees (representing 35 per cent of the estimated 2.9 million working population) were received by the Registration and Electoral Office (REO).
These returns were made by some 115,000 employers in response to the request by the REO for information on their principal line of business, and the names and identity card numbers of their employees.
Such information is required for the registration of working persons for the nine new functional constituencies in the September Legislative Council elections.
The first phase of the voter registration exercise for the nine new functional constituencies, which started in mid-January, is focused on obtaining employees' information from employers.
In mid-January, the REO sent out requests for information to all employers on the business registration record.
Reminders were sent in late February to those employers who had not
responded.
Staff of the Home Affairs Department are also making follow-up visits to business establishments to collect outstanding returns on behalf of the REO.
An REO spokesman said the next phase of the voter registration exercise would be targeted at the working persons themselves.
