Legislative Council election | Review of election spending in recent years: this year’s “price per vote” highest
立法會選舉結束，今屆地區直選約 131.7 萬人投票、投票率升但實際人數跌，亦有逾四萬張「廢票」、比例創新高。政府大力宣傳和籌備下，今屆選舉預留撥款高達 12.8 億元，平均每一個議席成本高達 1420 萬元。《集誌社》盤點過去幾屆立法會選舉的開支、以及投票總數目，以今屆預算和投票總數約 139 萬計算，每票成本約 $916.9，較上屆增加逾五成。
The Legislative Council election has ended. About 1.317 million people voted in the geographical constituency elections this year; although the turnout rate rose, the actual number of voters fell. More than 40,000 invalid ballots were also recorded, representing a record-high proportion. Amid extensive government publicity and preparations, $1.28 billion was allocated for this year’s election, putting the average cost per seat at as much as $14.2 million. The Collective reviewed spending and total votes in previous Legislative Council elections. Based on this year’s budget and approximately 1.39 million total votes, the cost per vote was about $916.9, an increase of more than 50% from the previous election.

第八屆立法會選舉完結，各政黨陸續於今午（8日）交代選情。經民聯今屆派 14 人出選，最終贏得八席比上屆少一席。贏得議席中，均為功能界別、選委會界別，其中立法會主席、工業界（第一）梁君彥，議席由黃永威接替；但地區直選的四人俱敗。
The eighth-term Legislative Council election has concluded, and political parties began outlining their election results this afternoon (the 8th). The Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong fielded 14 candidates this term and ultimately won eight seats, one fewer than in the previous term. All of its winning seats were in functional constituencies or the Election Committee constituency.

LegCo election ballot analysis | More than 41,000 invalid ballots recorded; 3.12% invalid-ballot rate hits record high
立法會選舉結束，今屆約 131.7 萬人投票、投票率超越上屆達 31.9%。港澳辦形容「投票率大幅超越上屆」。分析投票數據，今屆選舉由於登記選民人數較 2021 年大減約 33.4 萬人，在投票率微增 1.7％ 情況下，實際投票人數反而較上屆減少 3.3 萬人。《集誌社》另統計「無效選票」數字，發現地區直選無效票是過去幾屆最多、有逾 4.1 萬張，「廢票率」高達 3.12％ 是過去幾屆最高。
The Legislative Council election has concluded, with about 1.317 million people voting and turnout reaching 31.9%, surpassing that of the previous election. The Hong Kong and Macao Office described the turnout as having “far surpassed that of the previous election”. An analysis of the voting data found that, because the number of registered voters had fallen by about 334,000 from 2021, the actual number of voters decreased by 33,000 from the previous election despite a 1.7% increase in the turnout rate. The Collective also counted the number of “invalid ballots”, finding that the number of invalid ballots in the geographical direct election was the highest in the past several elections, at more than 41,000. The “invalid-ballot rate” of 3.12% was also the highest in the past several elections.

LegCo election: All re-elected incumbents won with fewer votes; Kwok Wai-keung, Luk Chung-hung and Ngan Man-yu defeated, Christine Fong tops poll
吳秋北，跌逾 2.4 萬票；陳克勤，跌 2.1 萬票；李梓敬，跌 1.8 萬票，他們成功爭取連任，但得票都不及上屆，屬「跌票當選」的一群。顏汶羽更跌票跌到「墮馬」，告別了議會。
立法會選舉點票已有結果，90 個議席當中，有 20 席是地區直選的。五度參選落敗的專業動力方國珊，今屆取得逾五萬票，以票后姿態入局。她說：「沒有奇蹟，只有累積才有成績」。工聯會郭偉强、 陸頌雄、民建聯顏汶羽三人，在直選未能連任。
翻查資料，11 位在當區成功連任的現屆議員，全部都「跌票當選」，例如昔日票后民建聯李慧琼，今屆得 53,529 票，較上屆得 95,976 票，大跌逾 4.2 萬票。民建聯周浩鼎、工聯會陳穎欣等也是「跌票當選」。
Ng Chau-pei received more than 24,000 fewer votes, Chan Hak-kan 21,000 fewer and Li Tsz-king 18,000 fewer, but all successfully secured re-election. They were among those re-elected despite receiving fewer votes than in the previous election. Ngan Man-yu suffered a further vote decline and lost his seat, leaving the legislature.
The results of the Legislative Council election count are in. Of the 90 seats, 20 were directly elected through geographical constituencies. Christine Fong of Professional Power, who had lost five previous election attempts, won more than 50,000 votes this time and entered the legislature as the top vote-getter. She said: “There are no miracles; only accumulation leads to results.” Kwok Wai-keung and Luk Chung-hung of the Federation of Trade Unions, and Ngan Man-yu of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress, failed to secure re-election in the direct election.
A review of the figures showed that all 11 incumbent legislators who successfully won re-election in their constituencies received fewer votes. They included former top vote-getter Starry Lee of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress, who received 53,529 votes this time, down by more than 42,000 from the 95,976 votes she received in the previous election. DAB’s Holden Chow and FTU’s Chan Wing-shan also won re-election with fewer votes.

LegCo election: New People’s Party seats halved from six to three; Ip says “no drop in votes”; Lee Tsz-king elected after a 1.8-vote drop, tearfully thanks Wang Fuk Court voters
新民黨派八人參選，七人直選，取得 147,113 票，佔總投票 11 %，新民黨主席葉劉淑儀表示對比上屆，「冇跌到票」。新民黨由上屆有六席，葉劉淑儀、黎棟國、容海恩棄選。選舉過後，該黨議席減半，由六變三，剩下選委會何敬康、港島西陳家珮、新界東北李梓敬留守。李梓敬飲泣說，在宏福苑的票站，取得四分一的選票，感謝宏福苑選民支持。
The New People’s Party fielded eight candidates, seven of whom stood in direct elections, and won 147,113 votes, accounting for 11% of the total. Party chairwoman Regina Ip said that, compared with the previous election, there had been “no drop in votes”. The party had six seats in the previous term, but Regina Ip, Lai Tung-kwok and Eunice Yung did not stand. After the election, the party’s seats were halved from six to three, with the remaining members in Election Committee Adrian Pedro King Hong Ho, Hong Kong Island West Judy Ka Pui Chan, and New Territories North East, where Lee Tsz-king retained his seat. Lee, in tears, said he had received one quarter of the votes at the Wang Fuk Court polling station and thanked Wang Fuk Court voters for their support.

Legislative Council election: DAB loses 250,000 votes, down nearly 40%, despite winning 20 seats and gaining one
民建聯於今屆立法會選舉派 26 人參選，最終有 20 人當選，仍然是議會最大黨，但得票由上屆逾 68 萬票，大跌至 43.2 萬票，失近 25 萬票。黨內兩人未能連任，包括九龍東的顏汶羽、會計界的黃俊碩。民建聯今午（8日）交代選情，主席陳克勤指，得票率比上屆低，受不同因素影響，重提有人藉宏福苑火災抹黑民建聯。他又稱，各地區候選人，提出政綱與民建聯接近而可行；競逐連任的候選人得票均有下跌，「正正證明咗市民多咗選擇，優中選優。」
The Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) fielded 26 candidates in this Legislative Council election, with 20 ultimately elected. It remains the largest party in the legislature, but its vote total plunged from more than 680,000 in the previous election to 432,000, a loss of nearly 250,000 votes. Two party members failed to win re-election, including Yim Man-yu in Kowloon East and Edmund Chun Sek Wong in the Accounting constituency. The DAB explained the election results this afternoon (the 8th). Its chairman, Chan Hok-kin, said its vote share was lower than in the previous election owing to various factors, and again alleged that some people had used the Wang Fuk Court fire to smear the DAB. He also said candidates in various constituencies had put forward platforms that were close to, and feasible like, those of the DAB. The votes received by all candidates seeking re-election had fallen, he said, “which precisely proves that the public had more choices and could choose the best among them.”

LegCo election political map | DAB remains largest party after securing Election Committee seats; FTU and Liberal Party hold steady; New People’s Party seats halved
「完善」選制後的第二次立法會換屆選舉結果出爐，民建聯在大埔火災陰霾下，政黨所得票數大跌 36.5％，仍在地方選區力保 10 席，加上多名現任議員轉戰選委會、「搶攤」成功，議席較上屆還多一席，續成為議會最大黨。經民聯在多名資深議員棄選「大換血」下，失卻地產及建造界一席，保住第二大黨地位；工聯會、自由黨則分別維持七席及四席，元老退下火線的新民黨則議席減半，僅餘三席。
The results of the second Legislative Council election after the electoral system was “improved” have been announced. Despite a 36.5% drop in its party vote share amid the shadow of the Tai Po fire, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress retained 10 seats in the geographical constituencies. With several incumbent lawmakers successfully switching to and securing seats in the Election Committee constituency, it gained one more seat than in the previous term and remained the largest party in the legislature. The Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong lost one seat in the Real Estate and Construction constituency amid a major turnover following several veteran lawmakers’ decisions not to stand, but retained its position as the second-largest party. The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions and the Liberal Party retained seven and four seats respectively, while the New People’s Party, following the retirement of its veterans, saw its seats halved to three.

被「完善」後的第二次立法會選舉結束，議席大換血，90 名議員中，40 人首次當選。《集誌社》早前統計，161 名候選人中，超過一半為人大政協、逾三成具中資背景。最終當選的情況又如何？記者統計，新任 90 名議員中，三分二為全國或地方人大政協，當中三成、即 27 人為全國人大或政協，屬歷屆最多。此外，至少 42 人於中資企業任職或擔任董事，佔全體議員 46.7%，較上屆上升五成；28 個功能組別中，超過一半、有 15 議席具中資背景，較上屆大升近一倍。
The second Legislative Council election after the electoral system was “improved” has ended, with major turnover among the seats. Of the 90 lawmakers, 40 were elected for the first time. An earlier analysis by [[集誌社]] found that more than half of the 161 candidates were delegates to the National People’s Congress or members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, while more than 30% had Chinese-capital backgrounds. What was the situation among those ultimately elected? A media tally found that two-thirds of the 90 newly elected lawmakers serve in national or local people’s congresses or CPPCC bodies. Among them, 27 are members of the National People’s Congress or the national CPPCC, the highest number across all terms. In addition, at least 42 lawmakers work for or serve as directors of Chinese-funded enterprises, accounting for 46.7% of all lawmakers and representing a 50% increase from the previous term. Of the 28 functional constituencies, more than half—15 seats—have Chinese-capital backgrounds, nearly double the figure from the previous term.
