CHINA-HONGKONG: AT LEAST 20 AMENDMENTS TO LOCAL LAWS ON THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM ARE EXPECTED TO BE UNVEILED ON APRIL 13

The South China Morning Post (April 13) reported that Hong Kong officials will release on April 13 a “watertight” set of at least 20 ordinance and subsidiary legislative amendments, running into hundreds of pages, to local laws to implement a Beijing-led overhaul of the city’s electoral system. These local amendments will be announced later after Hong Kong’s de facto cabinet, the Executive Council, has endorsed them. The South China Morning Post added that it appears the two changes on boundaries and blank votes were among the key moves being debated within the ruling establishment.
