Election Publicity on Electronic Boards May Breach Rules; University Says It Has a Responsibility to Urge Staff and Students to Exercise Their Civic Rights
2025香港立法會換屆選舉舉行在即，近日科大校園多處出現呼籲參與立法會選舉投票的宣傳，包含在賽馬會大堂(Atrium) L型電子告示板及水平電子告示板、入口廣場8塊直立電子告示板等，甚至出現在LG1餐廳旁智能回收箱的屏幕上。而實體告示版則未見有任何選舉宣傳單張。
//電子板現政治宣傳涉違規 校方: 大學有責任呼籲師生投票
根據科大校園管理處 (Campus Management Office) 的告示板規則，第七條指明政治宣傳、非法、未授權及過期的海報不被允許在任何校園告示板出現 (Propaganda and unlawful materials, unauthorized posts and expired posts)
電子告示板介紹網頁亦列明，同一套規則同樣適用於電子告示板，因此電子告示版上出現投票宣傳可能違反「禁止政治宣傳」的相關規定。
With the 2025 Hong Kong Legislative Council election approaching, publicity urging people to vote in the Legislative Council election has recently appeared at multiple locations on the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology campus, including the L-shaped and horizontal electronic noticeboards in the Jockey Club Atrium, eight vertical electronic noticeboards at the Entrance Piazza, and even the screen of a smart recycling bin beside the LG1 restaurant. No election leaflets have been seen on the physical noticeboards. According to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Campus Management Office’s noticeboard rules, Article 7 states that political propaganda, unlawful materials, unauthorised posts and expired posts are not permitted on any campus noticeboard. The webpage introducing the electronic noticeboards also states that the same rules apply to them. The election publicity displayed on the electronic noticeboards may therefore breach the relevant prohibition on political propaganda. The university says it has a responsibility to call on faculty members and students to vote and exercise their civic rights.

In Depth | Media outlet “joins forces” with police on poll and reports; veteran media worker fears damage to media credibility, scholar questions lack of transparency
《星島日報》日前（16日）頭條報道「港十面埋『伏』九成受訪市民曾遇『騙』」，該報聯同警方進行「港人防騙意識問卷調查」，並進行跟進報道，除關於調查結果的主稿，另有兩篇配稿，包括訪問警察臨床心理學家解釋騙徒「蠱惑招數」以及警方「防騙APP」57萬次下載量的報道。曾任職該報的傳媒工作者向《光傳媒》表示，這種合作模式令外界觀感不好，跟傳媒角色存在衝突。中文大學新聞與傳播學院教授李立峯分析，報道的合作模式欠缺透明度，內容完全依照警方提供資料、沒有其他角度的訪問，媒體的獨立性受質疑。
Sing Tao Daily ran a front-page report on the 16th headlined “Hong Kong faces ambushes on all sides: Nine in 10 respondents have encountered scams”. The newspaper collaborated with the police on a “Hong Kong People’s Anti-Scam Awareness Questionnaire Survey” and published follow-up reports. In addition to the main report on the survey findings, there were two accompanying stories: one interviewing a police clinical psychologist about scammers’ “devious tactics”, and another reporting that the police’s anti-scam app had been downloaded 570,000 times. A media worker who previously worked for the newspaper told Light Media that the collaboration model created a poor impression and conflicted with the media’s role. Li Lap-fung, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, said the collaboration model lacked transparency: the content relied entirely on information provided by the police, with no interviews presenting other perspectives, raising questions about the media’s independence.

Senior officials rally behind pre-election district council ‘grand gala’; netizens note many performers took part in ‘Democratic Songs Dedicated to China’
區議會選舉周日進行，政府今晚舉行大型戶外音樂會「共建美好社區大匯演」，由七大電子傳媒聯播，多名政府高官現身台下支持。但有網民就發現，不少台上表演者與34年前的八九民運籌款活動《民主歌聲獻中華》重疊，包括今晚司儀汪明荃、Maria Cordero（肥媽）、草蜢、蘇永康、鄺美雲等。
The District Council election will be held on Sunday. The government hosted a large outdoor concert, “Grand Gala for Building Better Communities”, this evening, with seven electronic media outlets simulcasting the event. Many senior government officials appeared in the audience in support. Netizens, however, noted that many of the performers had also taken part in the fundraising event “Democratic Songs Dedicated to China” for the 1989 democracy movement 34 years ago, including tonight’s host Liza Wang, Maria Cordero (Fat Ma), Grasshopper, William So and Cally Kwong.

District Council Election | Erick Tsang: Blanket publicity using a “new and down-to-earth” approach; at least 40 videos average about 2,800 views
「完善」後的區議會選舉將於下月10日舉行，政務司副司長卓永興日前接受傳媒訪問時表示，政府高度重視，各部門首長「空群而出」、「無所不用其極」拍片宣傳。《集誌社》以社交媒體 Facebook 作簡單統計，由10月中至今、各政府部門及官員專頁最少拍攝了 40 條宣傳短片，截至今日下午五時，平均每條片約有近 2800 人次觀看。
政制及內地事務局長曾國衛今（20日）到立法會就施政報告作政策簡報，提及區議會選舉時，指政府以「嶄新和接地」手法宣傳，包括舉辦「區選夜繽紛」、「區選 Halloween」、「區選進社區」等活動。席上多名議員關注區選投票率、政府有何評估、如何推動公務員投票等，多位議員「獻計」建議到內地派傳單、或送紀念章鼓勵選民投票等。
The “improved” District Council Election will be held on the 10th of next month. In a recent media interview, Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration Warner Cheuk said the Government attached great importance to it, with heads of departments “pulling out all the stops” and using every possible means to produce promotional videos. The Collective conducted a simple tally on Facebook, finding that government departments and officials’ pages had produced at least 40 promotional short videos from mid-October to now. As of 5pm today, each video had been viewed by nearly 2,800 people on average.
Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang briefed the Legislative Council on the Policy Address today (20th). Referring to the District Council Election, he said the Government was promoting it through “new and down-to-earth” methods, including events such as “District Election Night Festivities”, “District Election Halloween” and “District Election Goes into the Community”. Several lawmakers expressed concern about voter turnout, the Government’s assessment and ways to encourage civil servants to vote. A number of lawmakers also offered suggestions, such as distributing leaflets on the mainland or giving commemorative badges to encourage voters to cast their ballots.
