Voter Registration

Only after you have registered as an elector can you exercise your right to vote in the Legislative Council and District Council elections. If you are a Hong Kong permanent resident aged 18 or above, and ordinarily reside in Hong Kong, you are eligible to sign up as a geographical constituency elector. If you are not a registered elector and you wish to be registered in a geographical constituency, you must complete the application form “Application for New Registration/Report on Change of Particulars by an Elector in a Geographical Constituency” (REO-GC).

Note: Address proof is required for new voter registration.

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 (Click here for the user manual) or submit online application.
