立法會選舉｜盤點近年選舉開支 今屆「票價」最高
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.

林鄭「前任特首辦」上年度開支達917萬 按年增32%
As the Government scales back its handouts while facing a fiscal deficit of $100 billion, government spending continues to rise. The former chief executive’s office spent about $20.99 million in 2023/24, of which more than 40%, or about $9.17 million, was spent on Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor’s former chief executive office at Pacific Place in Admiralty—up 31.9% from about $6.95 million the previous year. The Administration Wing told the Legislative Council today that Lam’s office was set up in mid-2022, and the 2022/23 figure reflected nine months of expenditure, while the 2023/24 figure fully reflected 12 months. Asked whether it would be moved to a “less Grade A” location, the Administration Wing said a former chief executive should be accorded an appropriate status and respect after leaving office. Taking into account the former chief executive’s status and ceremonial duties, the office was most suitably located in a secure building in the city centre. It also said former chief executive offices were unique in nature and it was inappropriate to set hard indicators.
政府面對千億財赤就「派糖減甜」，但政府開支卻不斷增加。前任行政長官辦公室2023/24年度的開支約為2,099萬元，當中有逾四成約917萬為林鄭月娥位於金鐘太古廣場「前任特首辦」的開支，較前一年約695萬元增31.9%。行政署今日在立法會表示，林鄭的辦公室在2022年年中設立，2022/23年度的數字反映9個月的開支，2023/24年度才完全反映12個月的開支。至於會否遷至「無咁甲級」的地方，行政署指特首離任後需給予恰如其分的地位及尊重，考慮其身份及禮儀工作，辦公室最適合設於市區中心及有保安的大廈，而且前特首辦公室性質獨特，不適宜定立硬指標。

陳國基指未計區選繽紛日開支 但「有啲錢係應使得使」
Today is District Council polling day. After voting this morning, Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki told reporters that yesterday’s District Council Election Carnival Day had a “very good atmosphere” and that he was pleased to see members of the public taking part in the activities. He said the expenditure on the carnival day had not yet been calculated, but believed it had reminded the public that today was polling day. Although it was not directly related to the voter turnout, “some money should be spent”, and the expenditure was worthwhile. Regarding the current turnout being slightly lower than that for the Legislative Council election, Chan said it was still early, as “not that many people get up so early”.
今為區議會投票日，政務司司長陳國基今早投票後見記者，他形容昨日舉辦的區選繽紛日「氣氛好好」，見到市民參加活動很開心。他又稱未計算區選繽紛日開支，但認為能提醒市民今為投票日，雖然與投票率沒有直接關係，但「有啲錢係應使得使」，花費值得。至於現時投票率稍遜立法會投票，陳國基指時間尚早，「始終唔係咁多人咁早起身」。
