The Electoral Affairs Commission (EAC) announced that the opening of the poll for the 2016 Legislative Council General Election this morning (September 4) was delayed for three minutes at the polling station at Tung Chung Catholic School (T0201), as longer time was used to complete specific procedures before the start of the poll.
