On Sunday night, December 7, 2025, voters across China’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) cast their ballots to elect the eighth-term Legislative Council (LegCo) of the region. 🗳️ Polling stations from Central to Kowloon were buzzing with energy as thousands turned out to shape Hong Kong’s legislative future.
Here’s a quick wrap on what unfolded:
- Total seats: 90 spots will be decided, blending geographical and functional constituencies.
- Voter turnout: Young voters made up a significant share, with many first-timers eager to have their voices heard.
- Key issues: Housing, economic recovery, and digital innovation topped campaign agendas.
Vote counting is underway, and official results are expected later Monday. 🔍 With the new council set to convene in early 2026, eyes are on how fresh faces and veteran lawmakers will collaborate on policies that impact daily life in HKSAR.
Why it matters? LegCo plays a central role in approving budgets, shaping social programmes, and steering the region’s economic direction. The outcome will influence Hong Kong’s path in the years ahead.
Stay tuned for updates as we track the results roll in and anticipate the next chapter for this vibrant region! 🚀
