***************************

Contents of the Legislative Council elections homepage have been enriched to step up publicity for the coming elections on September 10 and to encourage more young voters to cast their votes.

Revamped navigational tools give netsurfers easier access to information on the elections, including press releases, speeches and results of the nomination exercise.

More room is reserved for promotional materials and messages including slogans and announcements of forthcoming publicity events. The homepage also provides a countdown to the elections.

There is also an election game and a quiz. Netsurfers can download two versions of election wall paper free of charge.

The address of the website is http://www.elections.gov.hk.
