About Us

We provide the Electoral Affairs Commission (“EAC”) with administrative support for the effective discharge of its statutory functions under the Electoral Affairs Commission Ordinance (Cap. 541). The aim is to ensure that elections are conducted openly, honestly and fairly. Under the direction of the EAC, we implement the decisions of the Commission in relation to -

• the review and delineation of the boundaries of Legislative Council geographical constituencies and District Council geographical constituencies;
• the registration of electors; and
• the conduct and supervision of elections.

The Final Registers of Electors will be issued on or before 25 September annually. Applications for registration as an elector can be sent to this Office throughout the year. If your application reaches the Electoral Registration Officer (“ERO”) on or before 2 June and the application satisfies the criteria for registration, your name and residential address will be included in the Final Registers of Electors to be compiled for that year. The application for registration will be processed for compilation of the Final Registers for the following year if it is received after 2 June.

If your personal particulars recorded in the register have changed, please notify the ERO on or before 2 June. The change will be reflected in the Final Registers of Electors to be compiled for that year. The application for change of particulars will be processed for compilation of the Final Registers for the following year if it is received after 2 June.

Application forms for registration as an elector or for reporting changes of personal particulars are available free of charge at the REO, District Offices and the management offices of public housing estates. You may also download a copy of the registration form from our website. If you have an "iAM Smart+" account with digital signing function or a valid personal digital certificate, you can submit application through “iAM Smart” mobile App or submit online application at https://eform.cefs.gov.hk/form/vre001/.

When an election is to be held, we shall send a poll card to every registered elector. The poll card provides information on the date of election, polling hours, the constituency to which the elector belongs, and the address of the polling station allocated to the elector.
