RESIDENTS OF KAM TIN WERE TODAY (SATURDAY) URGED TO PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR'S DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS BY FIRST REGISTERING AS VOTERS.

THE CALL WAS MADE BY THE YUEN LONG DISTRICT OFFICER, MR JAMES WILSON, WHEN HE CONDUCTED DOOR-TO-DOOR VISITS IN FUNG KUT, MOU FAN, WING GEI AND WAH SHING VILLAGES TO BOOST THE VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVE.

SIMILAR VISITS HAVE BEEN STARTED IN THE YUEN LONG TOWN CENTRE SINCE JUNE AND ARE BEING EXTENDED TO THE RURAL AREAS OF THE NEW TOWN.
