「民主派」林頌鎧支持工聯會候選人 記者查詢稱感冒初癒拒回應
Voting in the District Council election will take place on Sunday. The pan-democratic camp has been completely shut out of this election and is unable to stand. Some internet users discovered that incumbent Tuen Mun District Councillor Chung Hoi Lam, who ran as a Democratic Party candidate in 2019 and has since left the party, is backing an FTU candidate. An InMedia reporter called Chung Hoi Lam for comment. He said he had just recovered from a cold, coughed several times, and immediately hung up without responding.

國安處譴責周庭公然表示棄保潛逃 籲「不要選擇走一條不歸的路」
Agnes Chow, a former member of the now-disbanded Demosistō, said on social media yesterday that she had gone to Canada to study and had decided not to return to Hong Kong. The Police Force’s National Security Department issued a statement strongly condemning her open declaration of absconding from bail, and urged Chow to “turn back from the brink, not choose a road of no return, and bear the name of a fugitive for the rest of her life.”

陳國基：「公務員不投票有懲處」是假消息 交執法部門跟進
With the District Council election approaching, Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki said he had noted “fake news” online claiming that civil servants would face punishment if they did not vote. He criticised the claims as “soft resistance” intended to divide the civil service team, and said the matter would be referred to law enforcement agencies for follow-up.

社署斥逾340萬資助長者中心 安排交通工具及人手接送投票
The District Council election will be held next weekend, and the Government continues its all-out “canvassing”. The Social Welfare Department announced that it has invited all elderly centres to provide “facilitated voting measures” on polling day, such as arranging transport and staff to take elderly people in need and their carers to and from polling stations. The department said it would provide each participating elderly centre with a subsidy of $20,000. More than 170 elderly centres have so far agreed to introduce the corresponding arrangements.
下周末是區選投票日，政府繼續全力「拉票」。社署宣布，已邀請所有長者中心於投票日提供「便利投票措施」，例如安排交通工具及人手接送有需要的長者及其照顧者往返投票站。社署表示，會向每間參與的長者中心提供二萬元資助，目前已有170多間長者中心會推出相應安排。

審計中大被批評「玩針對」 林智遠：所有機構都會睇
The Audit Commission’s latest report said that 29 of the 33 restaurants on the Chinese University of Hong Kong campus received walk-in customers, contrary to legal requirements. The report could leave people other than teaching staff and students with “no food to eat” on campus, while some also viewed it as targeting CUHK. Legislative Council member Kong Yuk-fun said it had “gone too far” and was out of touch. The Audit Commission issued a media advisory yesterday, inviting the media to cover a visit to elderly people and activities promoting the District Council elections. As expected, its director, Nelson Chi Yuen Lam, responded to the matter proactively, reiterating that the Commission’s principle was to cover all institutions using public funds, and that when auditing an institution as if giving it a health check, “we will look at both major and minor matters.”
審計署最新一份報告，指中大校園33間餐廳有29間接待「街客」，不符法例規定。報告除了或致校園除教職員及學生外「冇飯食」外，亦有聲音認為是針對中大，立法會議員江玉歡亦則指「管過了頭」、離地。審計署昨日發採訪通知，借探訪長者及宣傳區選活動邀傳媒採訪。一如預料，署長林智遠主動回應事件，重申署方的原則是覆蓋所有使用政府公帑的機構，審計如為機構驗身「大事小事我哋都會睇」。

三會提名1｜提名人清一色 沒政黨背景候選人 與民建聯、工聯會提名人「全撞」
In this “improved” District Council election, candidates must secure nominations from nine "the three committees" members to qualify for the ballot. The Collective analysed data on 180 candidates in eight districts and 1,183 nominators, finding that not only were the candidates largely uniform, but that in some constituencies the nominators were also largely the same.
In Wong Tai Sin, each of the five DAB candidates was nominated by the same nine "the three committees" members. The valid nominator lists for candidates who did not declare political affiliations were almost identical to those for HKFTU candidates. In Tsuen Wan, candidates who stressed that they had no political affiliations had valid nominator lists that completely overlapped with those of DAB candidates.
One nominator said in response to enquiries: “With the overlap being so coincidental, there might indeed be fewer.” One candidate said: “If some are the same, and then people think too much about it, there’s nothing that can be done.” Tik Chi-yuen, chairman of Third Side, said the likelihood of such coincidences was very low and that the candidates should explain themselves.
今屆「被完善」的區選，參選人要有九位「三會」成員提名才可入閘。《集誌社》分析其中八區 180 名候選人，共1,183 位提名人資料發現，不單參選人「清一色」，有選區連提名人也「清一色」。
在黃大仙，民建聯五候選人，都由九位相同的三會成員提名；有沒申報政治聯繫候選人，跟工聯會候選人的有效提名人名單，近乎一樣。在荃灣，有強調無政治聯繫候選人，跟民建聯候選人有效提名者「全撞」。
有提名人接受查詢時說：「撞到咁啱，可能真係會少啲」。有候選人則回應指：「如果有啲相同，然後諗好多嘢，咁就冇辦法㗎啦」。新思維主席狄志遠認為，如此巧合的難度很高，認為候選人須交代。

三會提名2｜九位提名人 民建聯五子「共享」 提名人直認：近期沒接觸候選人
In this year’s “improved” District Council election, candidates must obtain nominations from nine members of "the three committees" to qualify to stand. The Collective Media analysed data on 180 candidates and 1,183 nominators across eight districts, finding that not only were the candidates uniformly from the same camp, but in some districts the nominators were also the same.
In Wong Tai Sin, all five DAB candidates were nominated by the same nine members of "the three committees"; the nominators for the three FTU candidates were also nearly identical. One "the three committees" nominator admitted that he had not recently contacted the candidate and that party members had given him the nomination form. Some candidates declined to respond, while others left by taxi after canvassing.

公務員事務局推區選螢幕保護裝置 提醒公務員投票
The District Council election will be held on the 10th of this month. Last month, Chief Executive John Lee called on all policy bureaux and departments to step up publicity for the election and promote it among all sectors of the community through diverse channels and innovative methods. Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung also launched a “limited-time” “1210 Vote Together” screen saver today (1st). When a computer screen in a bureau office remains static for a period of time, an official leaflet will pop up reminding civil servants to vote.
本月10日就是區議會選舉投票日，特首李家超上月曾要求各政策局及部門加強宣傳，透過多元渠道和創新手法，深入社區各階層推廣今次選舉。公務員事務局局長楊何蓓茵今日（1日）又「出招」，推出「期間限定」的「1210 齊投票螢幕保護裝置」，只要局方辦公室的電腦畫面靜止一段時間，便會彈出官方單張，提醒公務員去投票。

陳國基：不會監察公務員投票 不投票不等於「軟對抗」
Nine days remained before the first District Council election following the “improvements”, with government departments mounting extensive publicity campaigns. In an interview with Now News, Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki said the government’s active publicity was intended to create a more joyful atmosphere and encourage voting, and was not directly related to voter turnout. He also said the government would not monitor whether civil servants voted, and that civil servants not voting did not amount to “soft resistance”.
「完善」後的首場區議會選舉尚有9日舉行，政府各部門均動員鋪天蓋地宣傳。政務司司長陳國基接受《now新聞》專訪，指政府積極宣傳是希望加強開心氣氛、鼓勵投票，與投票率沒有直接關係。他又指不會監察公務員有否投票，即使公務員不投票亦不等於「軟對抗」。
