Two sets of regulations to make technical changes to the appeal procedures in respect of the registration of electors will be gazetted on Thursday (April 13), a Government spokesman announced today (Tuesday).
They are the Legislative Council (Electoral Provisions) (Registration of Electors) (Functional Constituencies and Election Committee Constituency)(Appeals) Regulation and the Electoral Provisions (Registration of Electors)(Geographical Constituencies)(Appeals)(Amendment) Regulation 1995.
"The regulations make technical changes to the procedures for lodging an appeal to the Revising Officer against a decision of the Registration Officer in respect of voter registration in both the geographical and functional constituencies," the spokesman said.
"Similar appeal procedures are also provided for the registration of electors in the new Election Committee."
The spokesman explained that the changes were to tie in with the new voter registration cycle this year, adding that the deadline for registration would be June 1.
The regulations are expected to be introduced into the Legislative Council on April 19 this year.
