The Security Bureau (SB) held the SB and disciplined services' "Join the Election Together We Create the Future" pledging ceremony today (November 8) to mobilise relevant departments, organisations and work partners to show full support for the 2025 Legislative Council General Election, make concerted efforts to publicise messages on the election and encourage members or employees, as well as various sectors of society, to fulfil their civic responsibility by casting their votes.

     Some 400 people participated in the pledging ceremony. In addition to members led by the heads of the SB, the six disciplined services and the two auxiliary services, other participants from advisory and statutory bodies under the SB and departments, including the Independent Police Complaints Council, the Disciplined Services Consultative Council and the Police Force Council, as well as staff associations, youth groups and work partners of the SB and its departments were also invited. 

     Addressing the pledging ceremony, the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, said that the SB and its departments gathered together today to show unity in support of the Legislative Council General Election. He said that after the implementation of the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong" in the Legislative Council, quality lawmakers had given valuable advice for the smooth passage of important legislation, including the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance and other laws benefiting the people and businesses, as well as facilitating the work of law enforcement departments. Mr Tang called on participants to cast their votes on December 7 and encourage relatives and friends to vote as well to create a better future for Hong Kong.

     Afterwards, Mr Tang and the heads of the disciplined services and auxiliary services performed the pledging ceremony by piecing together puzzles, each showing a department badge, onto a lighting installation with the election slogan "Join the Election Together We Create the Future", symbolising the concerted efforts of the SB, the disciplined services and the auxiliary services to fully support the Legislative Council General Election.

     After the ceremony, Mr Tang and the heads of the departments led their teams to distribute election leaflets in various districts to appeal people to cast their votes on the December 7 polling day.
