Hong Kong to hold first Legislative Council polls after Beijing's overhaul of electoral system
Hongkongers are set to vote for members of the next Legislative Council on December 19, 2021. It's the first Legco polls since Beijing revamped the city's electoral system earlier in the year. The government says the overhaul will ensure that only patriots can run Hong Kong. But critics say it all but silenced the opposition from the pro-democracy camp, which is boycotting the polls.
