******************************************************************************************
The main polling station of the election will be set up on 1/F, Phase 2, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), Wan Chai. Around 1 500 members of the Election Committee will vote in a confidential manner on a one-person, one-vote basis to return the next-term Chief Executive. After the close of the poll, the ballot boxes will be delivered to the central counting station located on 3/F, Phase 2, HKCEC, for manual counting by counting staff.
On the polling day, staff from various departments will discharge electoral duties at different posts. A spokesman for the REO said today (April 27), "The REO held numerous virtual and hands-on training sessions over the past few days for staff who will work in the main polling station and central counting station. These sessions covered the set-up of the main polling station and its preparatory work; hands-on practice sessions on the Electronic Poll Register system; procedures of issuing ballot papers; sorting of ballot papers; points to note for counting of votes; procedures in handling questionable ballot papers, and responses in the event of contingencies.
The REO will continue to arrange training sessions for electoral staff in the coming week to ensure a smooth workflow, accuracy and efficiency; enhance their co-ordination and response capabilities; and make comprehensive preparations for the Chief Executive Election.
