The 2026 Election Committee Subsector Ordinary Elections will be held on Nov. 22. The competitive atmosphere has noticeably intensified this time, with the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee ruling the nominations of 1,115 candidates for the Election Committee subsector ordinary elections valid. Of the 36 subsectors, 31 are contested, and many feature competitive races with more candidates than seats. Representatives from various sectors have said that Hong Kong's peace and prosperity have been built brick by brick by everyone, and are worth continuing to protect with a vote. They call on everyone to cast a vote on Nov. 22 — for themselves, for their neighbours, and for Hong Kong's tomorrow!
Wang Laichun, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and Chairwoman and General Manager of Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd., said the new-term Election Committee will be formed next year for a five-year term, dovetailing with the critical implementation period of Hong Kong's first five-year plan — this vote concerns the interests of every Hong Kong citizen. Hong Kong's peace and prosperity have been built brick by brick by everyone, and are worth continuing to protect with a vote. Regardless of which sector or background one comes from, paying attention to and engaging in this election is very meaningful. She called on voters in all subsectors to actively participate in the Nov. 22 vote and do something warm for themselves, for their neighbours, and for Hong Kong's tomorrow!
Ng Wang-wai, CPPCC National Committee member (Education Group) and Vice-President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said this election is another important practice following the improvement of the electoral system and concerns the selection of capable people. Ensuring that the governance structure is firmly in the hands of patriots is precisely the deepest significance of this election. With as many as 31 subsectors contested this time, it fully demonstrates the commitment of elites from all sectors to serve Hong Kong and participate in governance. Ng called on members of the public and friends from all sectors to pay more attention to this election, get to know the candidates through various public forums and exchange occasions, and support worthy patriots who love the country and Hong Kong and are dedicated to serving the city. He also called on all eligible voters and representatives of corporate bodies to closely follow the election arrangements, exercise their voting rights in accordance with the law on Nov. 22, and together elect patriots who care about Hong Kong's long-term development, working hand in hand to consolidate Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
Cao Qidong, Hong Kong CPPCC National Committee member and Honorary Chairman of Ningbo Yongxin Optics Co., Ltd., said that as a Hong Kong CPPCC National Committee member, he calls on all voters in the Election Committee subsectors to vote enthusiastically on Nov. 22, select the capable and worthy, and elect patriots who love the country and Hong Kong with firm stance and pragmatic dedication into the Election Committee, casting a vote of confidence for good governance in Hong Kong and a smooth start to its first five-year plan.
