​The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau (HYAB) held a seminar for the property management (PM) sector at the Central Government Offices today (November 6) on the 2025 Legislative Council (LegCo) General Election, appealing for the active participation and full support of the PM sector for the LegCo General Election to be held on December 7.
      
     The seminar was attended by about 70 representatives from PM sector, including the Chairman, Dr Wong Kong-tin and members engaged in PM services of the Property Management Services Authority, as well as representatives of six PM professional bodies and over 20 major PM companies.
      
     The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, said that the seventh-term LegCo formed after the improvement of the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has fully demonstrated the advantages of the executive-led system under the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong". A highly efficient interaction has been formed between the executive and legislative authorities which has achieved remarkable results. The upcoming LegCo General Election is of great significance to the future development of Hong Kong.
      
     Miss Mak said at the seminar, "The work of LegCo has direct impact on the operation and development of the PM sector in areas such as building management, community building and environmental enhancement. As an important force in social services, the PM sector shoulders the important mission of improving district governance and is closely connected with the work of LegCo."  She appealed to the PM sector to make use of its extensive network built within the community to encourage staff and property owners to exercise their civic rights and fulfil their civic responsibility by casting their votes on the polling day.
      
     "The PM sector should encourage staff and property owners to cast their votes through various means, including stepping up internal publicity and enhancing awareness of voting, making flexible work arrangements to facilitate staff to vote, as well as assisting in the promotion of election messages in the housing estates and buildings they serve to create a strong election atmosphere."
      
     PM sector representatives attending the seminar said that they had gained a deeper understanding of the importance of the LegCo General Election to social development through the seminar, and they would respond to the appeal by giving their full support to the LegCo General Election. A representative attending the seminar said that the PM sector attaches great importance to the LegCo General Election and will deploy resources and adopt diverse and creative approaches to encourage property owners to vote, as well as introduce measures to encourage and facilitate PM practitioners to cast their votes by, for example, providing transportation assistance and flexible work arrangements for staff who need to be on duty.
      
     The HKSAR Government will continue to work closely with the PM sector to encourage electors to exercise their civic rights and fulfil their civic responsibility on the polling day, and to elect capable candidates to form the new term of the LegCo, thereby injecting new impetus into the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and building a better future together.
