🚨 This Sunday, December 7, 2025, Chief Executive John Lee kicked off election day with a rallying call for Hong Kong residents to head out and cast their ballots. “Your vote is the engine for change,” he said after a smooth early-morning process alongside his wife.
🗳️ Polling stations opened at 7:30 a.m. and will stay open until 11:30 p.m.—two hours longer than in prior elections. Lee highlighted the government’s facilitation measures and schedule extension, aiming to make voting more accessible across the HKSAR.
🔥 On a more somber note, Lee addressed the recent fire at Wang Fuk Court, calling it a heartbreaking event for the whole community. He pledged a thorough investigation into the cause, institutional reforms to boost safety standards, and swift support for affected residents.
⚖️ Looking ahead, Lee noted that the incoming Legislative Council will convene to introduce a motion on institutional reform. He expressed hope that lawmakers will join forces to back disaster relief, uncover the truth behind the fire, and speed up recovery and reconstruction efforts.
🤝 “Every vote we cast today helps push forward reforms, strengthens public safety, and shapes a brighter future for Hong Kong,” Lee said. If you’re eligible, don’t miss your chance to be part of the change!
