Voters urged to support Tuen Mun by-election
Tuen Mun district officer, Mr Patrick Chan, today (Friday) urged registered voters to cast their ballots in this Sunday's Tuen Mun District Board by-election for the Tin King constituency.

The balloting will be held from 7.30 am to 10.30 pm.
A polling station will be set up at the Ho Sau Ki School, Ting King Estate, Tuen Mun. Voters are reminded to bring their identity cards and their poll cards.
Four candidates - Mr Lee Hung-sham, Ms Ho Ilang-mui, Mr Tse Yee-fong and Mr Lee Yiu-hung will be vying for the seat vacated by Mr Li Man-kwong.
The Tin King constituency, comprising mainly Ting King Estate, Siu Pong Court and Siu Kwai Court, has an electorate of 8,387.
