How should the Legislative Council of Hong Kong be constituted?

The Legislative Council of Hong Kong is designed to be constituted through elections, which is established under the Basic Law. This approach ensures that the members of the Council are selected by the electorate, reflecting democratic principles and providing a mechanism for the public to have a direct influence on their legislative representatives.

The electoral process is intended to promote transparency, accountability, and public participation in governance. Through elections, the views and needs of the populace are better represented in the legislative framework, allowing for a more responsive and responsible legislative body.

The Basic Law lays out specific provisions regarding the electoral system, including the composition and method of selection of the Legislative Council, emphasizing that it should include a mix of directly elected representatives as well as those selected by other means, thereby blending different forms of representation while prioritizing the role of elections in democratic practice.
