CE Election | Watch This: Voting underway for Chief Executive election in HKCEC

The main voting station at the Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) is open from 9 am until 11:30 am.

The head of the Electoral Affairs Commission, Barnabas Fung, said six Election Committee members have registered to cast their ballots from a special booth at the Penny's Bay quarantine facility.

"Their ballots will be thoroughly disinfected before being sent to the main vote-counting station in Wan Chai," Fung said.

He added that the entire vote-counting process is expected to take around one to one and a half hours.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened around the SAR, with the police conducting random high-profile patrols as part of what they described as "counter-terrorism measures to defend the SAR."

Roadblocks have also been set up at major trunk roads across the city.
