Most people seem to favour a simple "first past

the past" voting system for the direct elections, with each

elector having two votes, that is, one for each of the

seats in a constituency. This system will be adopted for

the 1991 direct elections to this Council. However the

preferential elimination voting system, which was used

successfully in the 1988 indirect elections, will be

retained for the functional constituencies.
