Boundary and Election Commission

Criticism

(probably unlikely) Government should retain these

powers.

Answer

Proposal has consensus support in LegCo.

Recommendations on boundaries will be made to

Governor. Government will retain policy-making

powers.

Right that an impartial body should make

administrative arrangements for elections and oversee

their conduct.

Election Committee

Criticism

A surrogate for more geographical constituencies.

Election Committee should be modelled on BL.

Making DB members the electors is contrary to BL 97

which states that district organisations are not

organs of political power,
