Remarks by SLW at media session regarding facilitation measures for voters of 2025 Legislative Council General Election
The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, met the media today (December 7) regarding facilitation measures for voters of 2025 Legislative Council General Election, after viewing the Outreach Polling Station for Residential Care Homes at Kwu Tung North Multi-welfare Services Complex. Following are Mr Sun's remarks at the media session:
Reporter: How does these Outreach Polling Stations benefit the elderly voters?
Secretary for Labour and Welfare: It is the first time we set up Outreach Polling Stations in three destinations in Hong Kong. This one in Kwu Tung is the biggest one. Alice (the Permanent Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Ms Alice Lau) and I visited this polling station this morning. The operation and the whole procedure are very smooth. We spoke to elderly people as well as workers here, all of them expressed great satisfaction with the arrangement. They are very happy with the convenience provided to them. It's saving them time.
For those who are on wheelchairs, it is a hugely easier journey. Instead of traveling out and then going back to homes, they only have to take the lift on their wheelchairs, just take them a few minutes to complete the whole procedure of voting. So it's a very smooth and successful operation. Thank you very much.
