The 2022 voter registration campaign for the Rural Representative Election (RRE) was launched today (April 22), with a view to encouraging eligible persons to register as electors and registered electors to update their registration particulars.
The Home Affairs Department (HAD) appeals to all eligible persons who have not registered as electors to sign up by June 16 so that their registration particulars can be included in the provisional register to be published in August this year and they can cast their votes in the Rural Ordinary Election to be held in early 2023. Registered electors are not required to register again. Registered electors who wish to update their registered particulars should also submit their applications by June 16.
"As the eligibility requirements for registration as electors vary for these elections, applicants should ascertain whether they meet the relevant requirements before registration," a HAD spokesman said.
Members of the public may visit the RRE Voter Registration Information Enquiry System through the RRE website (www.had.gov.hk/rre) to check their own registration particulars.
Application forms for new voter registration and change of registration particulars by an elector can be obtained from the HAD, Home Affairs Enquiry Centres, and overseas offices of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, or downloaded from the RRE website.
Duly completed and signed forms should be submitted in person or by post to the HAD or any Home Affairs Enquiry Centre, by fax (fax number: 2591 6392) or email (rre@had.gov.hk), or via the E-submission Platform at the RRE website on or before the deadline specified above (Hong Kong time).
The HAD will roll out the voter registration campaign through the RRE website, posters, banners, Announcements in the Public Interest, newspaper advertisements, and more to encourage eligible persons to register as electors and remind registered electors to update their registration particulars by the deadline.
For enquiries, please call the RRE hotline at 2152 1521.
