| Section: | 4 | Heading: | Form of the subsector register | Version Date: | 25/04/2013 |
(1) A subsector register is to be divided into parts by reference to sectors so that there is a separate part for each of the 4 sectors, namely the First Sector, the Second Sector, the Third Sector and the Fourth Sector referred to in Part 2 of the Schedule to the Chief Executive Election Ordinance (Cap 569). (L.N. 200 of 2001)
(2) Each part referred to in subsection (1) must be further divided into sections corresponding to the subsectors of which the sector is composed (excluding the subsectors for which an Election Committee subsector election is not required to be held under the Schedule to the Chief Executive Election Ordinance (Cap 569)) in the same order in which they appear in the relevant Table. If a subsector has sub-subsectors, the section for that subsector must be further divided into smaller sections corresponding to the sub-subsectors. (L.N. 200 of 2001)
(3) The particulars specified in section 3(2) or (3), as the case may require, must be recorded in respect of each voter. In the case of a subsector with the same name as a functional constituency, the name and address recorded for the voter in the subsector register must be the same as those recorded for that voter, as an elector, in the relevant functional constituencies register. (L.N. 200 of 2001)
(4) The order in which names of voters who are natural persons are to be arranged in a subsector register is as follows-
(a) the names of the voters in Chinese, arranged according to the number of strokes of the Chinese characters of their respective surnames, are to be recorded first;
(b) the names of the voters in English, arranged according to the alphabetical order of their respective surnames, must follow the entries at paragraph (a). (L.N. 307 of 1999)
(5) If a subsector or sub-subsector has both corporate voters and voters who are natural persons, the part of the subsector register relating to that subsector is to be divided into 2 parts. The entries relating to the natural persons are to be contained in one part and the entries relating to the corporate voters are to be contained in the other. The entries in the part for the natural persons are to be arranged as specified in subsection (4). The entries in the part for the corporate voters are to be arranged as specified in subsection (7).
(6) If a subsector or sub-subsector has only corporate voters, the entries for that subsector or sub-subsector are to be arranged as specified in subsection (7).
(7) The entries in a subsector register relating to corporate voters for a subsector or a sub-subsector are to be arranged so that those with the voters' names in Chinese appear first and those with the voters' names in English follow. The entries with the voters' names in Chinese are to be arranged in an order determined by the Electoral Registration Officer. The others are to be arranged in the alphabetical order of the names of those voters.
