After counting the votes, 364 people were elected as members of the Election Committee, with an overall turnout rate of nearly 90%. This is the first election held after the improvement of the electoral system in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

　　According to the election arrangement, voting began at 9: 00 am on the 19th, and there were five general polling stations and one dedicated polling station in Hong Kong. The polling stations are orderly, voters and staff members abide by epidemic prevention regulations, and voting activities are conducted in an orderly manner. Feng Hua, Chairman of the Electoral Affairs Commission of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, announced that the overall turnout rate for the subsector elections of the Election Commission was nearly 90%, with 4,380 voters. The turnout rate of the legal profession, scientific and technological innovation, architecture, surveying, urban planning and garden boundary reached 100%.

　　The Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs of the SAR Government, Zeng Guowei, said after visiting polling stations that afternoon that the overall situation of the election was relatively smooth and voters voted enthusiastically. Perfecting Hong Kong’s electoral system is mainly to embody and implement "patriots ruling Hong Kong", and people who love Hong Kong must firmly grasp the political power. Only in this way can Hong Kong return to the original heart and track of "one country, two systems", which will play a key role in helping the practice of "one country, two systems" to be stable and far-reaching, and achieving good governance and long-term stability in Hong Kong.

　　On March 11th this year, the Fourth Session of the 13th National People’s Congress passed the Decision of the National People’s Congress on Improving the Electoral System of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by a high vote. According to the decision, the Election Committee of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has been expanded to five sectors, with a total of 1,500 people. It is responsible for electing the Chief Executive designate, some members of the Legislative Council, and nominating candidates for the Chief Executive and Legislative Council.

　　According to the arrangement of the new electoral system, among the 1,500 seats of the EC, 325 people have been ruled to be effectively registered as ex officio members of the EC, and 156 people have been ruled to be effectively nominated as members of the EC. In addition, 603 candidates were automatically elected, and 412 candidates competed for 364 seats on the 19th (there were less than 1,500 due to the fact that the Legislative Council members had not yet held a general election and some ex-officio members overlapped).
