The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Lee Ka-chiu, said that he and his wife went to the polling stations early in the morning to fulfill their civic responsibilities and called on eligible voters from all over Hong Kong to cast a key vote to elect capable and ambitious members of the Legislative Council. This represents a vote to push for reform, a vote to protect the victims, and a vote to unite strength and move forward together. Li Jiachao pointed out that the fire at Wang Fu Yuen in Tai Po made everyone very sad. The SAR government is making every effort to fix the situation, investigate the truth, and push for systematic reforms to prevent the tragedy from happening again. The participation of the Legislative Council is critical during the critical phase of post-disaster reconstruction. Today's election will elect new members of parliament. They will work closely with the SAR government to make every effort to promote post-disaster reconstruction work, actively discuss and promote the review and update of the implementation of laws, and work together to build a safer Hong Kong so that citizens can live more at ease. The HKSAR Government will put forward a government bill at the first session of the new Legislative Council to discuss with members of the Legislative Council how to support disaster victims and rebuild recovery. It will also improve the existing system and close loopholes through enacting and amending laws. Li Jiachao explained that in order to facilitate voters' voting, the HKSAR Government has implemented a number of convenient measures, including extending the voting period by two hours, adding exclusive polling stations and residential outreach polling stations, and setting up more nearby border polling stations. At the same time, it has funded centres for the elderly and regional support centres for the disabled throughout Hong Kong, and introduced convenient measures to assist users and their caregivers to vote. The Civil Service Bureau and various agencies and enterprises have also introduced corresponding arrangements to facilitate employees' voting. In addition, the HKSAR Government mobilized more than 30,000 civil servants to work at polling stations and counting centers, and various government departments have also set up “coordination and support centers” to allocate personnel flexibly and fully support the election process.
