Seminar Series Electing the Next Chief Executive of the HKSAR in 2017: Proposals for Electoral Reform (Additional Session on April 24)

23 Apr 2014

The Centre for Comparative and Public Law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong is currently hosting a series of public seminars on proposals for political reform that have been garnered as a result of the ongoing public consultation exercise on the subject of electoral reform for the upcoming election of the Chief Executive of the HKSAR in 2017. During these seminars, individuals and groups who have proposed models for political reform will have the opportunity to present and elaborate their model to the audience and to offer insights as to why their models are appropriate for Hong Kong at this juncture, particularly in light of imperatives under the HK Basic Law, the 2007 Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and international standards. The seminars will each comprise presentations by proposers of their own models, followed by Questions and Answers from the audience.

A seminar will be held tomorrow (April 24, Thursday). Panelists on this event are Professor Ho Lok Sang and Mr Edmon Chung.

Details are as follows: 

Date: April 24, 2014 (Thursday)

Time: 5:30 to 7:30pm
