Hong Kong tomorrow ward elections scheduled or attention November 23 4:46
On the 24th in Hong Kong, where protests continue, a district assembly election is held once every four years. The Hong Kong government says the election may be postponed if safety is not secured, but in Hong Kong for the past few days there has been no noticeable conflict and attention will be paid to whether the election will be held as scheduled.
Hong Kong's constituency elections are 45 voting seats of 18 ward councils that are chosen directly by citizens.
Since the first death in a series of protests in Hong Kong, protests against the police and government have intensified, such as more than 1000 young people standing at Hong Kong Polytechnic University temporarily, but to avoid unnecessary clashes with the police etc. The call has spread and there have been no noticeable conflicts in the last few days.
The top of the Hong Kong police will have a policy on strengthening the security posture, such as placing police officers at all 600 polling stations on the election day on the 22nd, and it will be noticed whether the election will be held as scheduled.
Under these circumstances, the Hong Kong High Court ruled that it would violate the “Basic Law” of the Hong Kong Constitution, prohibiting hiding faces with masks during protests, effective until the 29th of this month. I showed the judgment that it is.
At the request of the government, this will temporarily keep regulatory enforcement.
Concerning this rule, the NPC = National People's Congress, which is in charge of legislation in China, repelled that the Hong Kong court had no authority to determine whether the rule violated the basic law.
