ELECTORAL AFFAIRS COMMISSION (REGISTRATION) (ELECTORS FOR LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL FUNCTIONAL CONSTITUENCIES) (VOTERS FOR ELECTION COMMITTEE SUBSECTORS) (MEMBERS OF ELECTION COMMITTEE) REGULATION - SECT 4

Form of the subsector register

(Past version on 10/12/1999).
(Past version on 12/11/1997).

(1) A subsector register is to be divided into parts by reference to sectors
so that there is a separate part for each of the 4 sectors, namely the First
Sector, the Second Sector, the Third Sector and the Fourth Sector referred to
in Part 2 of the Schedule to the Chief Executive  Election Ordinance (
Cap 569). (L.N. 200 of 2001)

(2) Each part referred to in subsection (1) must be further divided into
sections corresponding to the subsectors of which the sector is composed
(excluding the subsectors for which an Election Committee  subsector election
is not required to be held under the Schedule to the
Chief Executive Election Ordinance ( Cap 569)) in the same order in which they
appear in the relevant Table. If a subsector has sub-subsectors, the section
for that subsector must be further divided into smaller sections corresponding
to the sub-subsectors. (L.N. 200 of 2001)

(3) The particulars specified in section 3(2) or (3), as the case may require,
must be recorded in respect of each voter. In the case of a subsector with the
same name as a functional constituency, the name and address recorded for the
voter in the subsector register must be the same as those recorded for that
voter, as an elector, in the relevant functional constituencies register.
(L.N. 200 of 2001)

(4) The order in which names of voters who are natural persons are to be
arranged in a subsector register is as follows-

   (a)  the names of the voters in Chinese, arranged according to the number
        of strokes of the Chinese characters of their respective surnames, are
        to be recorded first;

   (b)  the names of the voters in English, arranged according to the
        alphabetical order of their respective surnames, must follow the
        entries at paragraph (a). (L.N. 307 of 1999)

(5) If a subsector or sub-subsector has both corporate voters and voters who
are natural persons, the part of the subsector register relating to that
subsector is to be divided into 2 parts. The entries relating to the natural
persons are to be contained in one part and the entries relating to the
corporate voters are to be contained in the other. The entries in the part for
the natural persons are to be arranged as specified in subsection (4). The
entries in the part for the corporate  voters are to be arranged as specified
in subsection (7).

(6) If a subsector or sub-subsector has only corporate voters, the entries for
that subsector or sub-subsector are to be arranged as specified in subsection
(7).

(7) The entries in a subsector register relating to corporate  voters for a
subsector or a sub-subsector are to be arranged so that those with the voters'
names in Chinese appear first and those with the voters' names in English
follow. The entries with the voters' names in Chinese are to be arranged in an
order determined by the Electoral Registration  Officer. The others are to be
arranged in the alphabetical order of the names of those voters.
