Public Consultation on Geographical Constituency Boundaries
for Legislative Council Election in 2000

22 September 1999

Electoral Affairs Commission
10th Floor
Harbour Centre
25 Harbour Road
Wan Chai
Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

The Hong Kong Democratic Foundation would like to convey its support to the Commission for its allocation of Legislative Council seats for the 2000 Election.

We are pleased to note that the allocation of the four additional seats has been achieved without the need to modify the existing constituency boundaries, which preserves consistency of constituency area, a factor we regard as being important. The allocation has also succeeded in keeping the population per seat in each constituency within plus/minus 10% of the per seat population quota. We regard this as being a very commendable achievement as it ensures a most satisfactory balance of representation in all five constituencies.

Yours sincerely,

G W H Cautherley
Vice Chairman
