The Electoral College

The electoral college will comprise all members of the District Boards, the Urban Council and the new Regional Council. The college will elect 12 Unofficial members to the Legislative Council in September 1985.

2. In order to achieve a more balanced and adequate representation the District Boards will be grouped into ten geographical constituencies each representing approximately 500 000 people.

3. The remaining two seats will be provided by the two special constituencies formed respectively by members of the Urban Council and the Regional Council. The interests of the Heung Yee Kuk will be represented through the Regional Council.

4. Details of the 12 constituencies formed from the electoral college are in the table below.
