     The 2023 final registers of electors/voters for geographical constituencies (GCs), functional constituencies (FCs) and Election Committee subsectors (ECSSs) were released today (September 25).
 
     "A total of 4 333 106 electors are carried in the final register for GCs. The final register for FCs contains 198 505 individual electors and 8 151 corporate electors, comprising a total of 206 656.

     The District Councils (Amendment) Ordinance 2023 was published in the Gazette and came into effect on July 10. The boundaries of the 18 districts remain unchanged and there are 44 District Council geographical constituencies (DCGCs) in the 18 districts. Electors in the final register for GCs may cast their vote in the District Council Ordinary Election to be held on December 10 this year. The REO will gradually issue letters informing them of their assigned DCGC. Electors may also check the information via the voter registration website (vr.gov.hk).
 
     Statistical information about these final registers of electors/voters has been uploaded to the voter registration website (vr.gov.hk).
 
     Notices on the inspection of the final registers of electors/voters were gazetted today. According to law, a copy of registers containing entries relating to individuals may only be shown in accordance with the statutory requirements, and made available for inspection by specified persons only. A copy of registers containing entries of corporate electors/voters (i.e. without entries relating to individuals) may be inspected by any member of the public.
