VOTER REGISTRATION TARGET IN KWUN TONG SURPASSED

******

MORE THAN 68 000 RESIDENTS IN KWUN TONG HAVE SIGNED UP AS VOTERS IN THE RECENT REGISTRATION EXERCISE.

TOGETHER WITH THE 120 000 ALREADY ON THE REGISTER, KWUN TONG NOW HAS 188 000 VOTERS, REPRESENTING ABOUT 56 PER CENT OF THE RESIDENTS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN THE DISTRICT.

+THE RESULT IS NOT ONLY VERY ENCOURAGING, BUT ALSO QUITE UNEXPECTED AS OUR ORIGINAL TARGET WAS SET AT 46 000,+ THE DISTRICT OFFICER, MR KEVIN MAK, SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY).

HE CONSIDERED THE GOOD RESPONSE AS AN INDICATION OF LOCAL RESIDENTS' INCREASED INTEREST AND PARTICIPATION IN THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SCHEME.

+BUT OF COURSE, WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT ORGANISATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN PROMOTING VOTER REGISTRATION THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT,+ HE SAID.

LETTERS OF APPRECIATION HAVE BEEN SENT TO THESE ORGANISATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS.

+THOSE WHO HAVE MISSED OUT THE REGISTRATION PERIOD MAY SIGN UP AT THE REGISTRATION AND ELECTORAL OFFICE FROM NOVEMBER 9 TO 20,+ HE SAID.
