Hong Kong Elections See Slight Voter Increase
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Hong Kongs recent elections saw a slight increase in voter turnout, reaching 31.4% compared to 30.2% in 2021. Despite government efforts to boost numbers, public anger over a deadly fire and a crackdown on dissent have led to lower engagement, particularly among democracy supporters. The election system has changed, with only 20 out of 90 seats directly elected, and candidates must now pass a patriotism test. Despite challenges, enough voters turned out to slightly increase the turnout rate.
