Applications for voter registration and changes of voter registration particulars to close on June 2 
     Hong Kong permanent residents who hold an identity document, are 18 years of age by September 25 this year and ordinarily reside in Hong Kong are eligible to register as GC electors. Registered electors/voters do not need to register again. However, if there are any changes in their residential addresses or other registration particulars, they should also submit applications for change of particulars to the REO by the same statutory deadline of June 2.

     A spokesperson for the REO said, “Eligible persons may easily check their voter registration status, submit applications for registration or changes of voter registration particulars, as well as providing/updating their mobile phone numbers and email addresses through ‘iAM Smart’.” 
     “Under no circumstances will the REO require the provision of an address proof with personal bank information. Members of the public shall remain vigilant against fraud,” the spokesperson reminded.
 
     Apart from submitting applications through “iAM Smart”, members of the public can also submit applications through specified forms. Specified forms for new registration and changes of registration particulars can be downloaded from the Voter Registration website (vr.gov.hk      Meanwhile, the REO again urges registered electors who have received inquiry letters (with the note “Immediate action required. Your voting right is at stake” printed in red on the envelope) issued by the REO to reply on or before the statutory deadline of June 2 by scanning the QR codes on the letters to upload the reply slips, or by email, post or fax, to maintain their voter registration status. Based on the other contact information provided by the electors, the REO will also contact the electors under inquiry by phone, SMS, email or fax, to remind them to reply as soon as possible.
