PART V

REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS

(1) Subject to this Part, a person is eligible to be registered as an elector
for a geographical constituency only if the person-

   (a)  is already registered as an elector in the then existing final 
        register of geographical constituencies; or

   (b)  applies in accordance with this Part to be registered as such an
        elector and is entitled to be so registered.

(2) A person is not, by virtue of being registered as an elector in an
existing final register of geographical constituencies, entitled to be
included as an elector in any subsequent register of geographical
constituencies if the Electoral Registration Officer is satisfied on
reasonable grounds that the person-

   (a)  has since ceased to ordinarily reside in Hong Kong; or

   (b)  no longer resides at the residential address recorded against the
        person's name in that existing register and that Officer does not know
        the person's new principal residential address (if any) in Hong Kong.
