The polls have closed in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's (SAR) 2021 Election Committee's (EC) subsector ordinary elections, the first elections since improvements were made to Hong Kong's electoral system earlier this year.
Starting at 9:00 a.m, voters cast their ballots at five ordinary polling stations and one dedicated polling station across Hong Kong set up by the SAR government. An electronic poll register system was used for the first time at the polling stations to ensure more efficient and accurate issuance of ballot papers.
After the polls closed at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, the ballot boxes were delivered to the Convention and Exhibition Centre for a vote count, under the observance of candidates, election agents and counting agents at the central counting station's designated area.
