民主黨伍凱欣：寄信予逾百「三會」成員零回覆零提名
The District Council election will be held on 10 December, with the pro-democracy camp “zeroed out” among the 399 candidates. Democratic Party deputy chairwoman Bonnie Hoi Yan Ng, who had previously indicated that she intended to stand, said on the party’s own online programme that she had written to more than 100 “"the three committees"” members in the district to seek nominations, but received no replies and no nominations. One person told her, “The Democratic Party can’t stand in the election this time; don’t take part.”
區議會選舉將於12月10日進行，399名參選人民主派「清零」。曾表明有意參選的民主黨副主席伍凱欣，在該黨自家網台節目表示，曾去信該區逾百名「三會」成員爭取提名，惟獲零回覆零提名，更有人向她稱「今次民主黨冇得參選㗎喇，你唔好參加啦」。

2019年區選自稱獨立素人提「五大訴求」 今代表經民聯獲確認提名有效
In the “improved” District Council election, constituencies were redrawn and a requirement was added for candidates to be nominated by members of "the three committees". The pro-democracy camp consequently had zero candidates, while various officials had said that it would take time for them to “turn over a new leaf”. In the Tin Shui Wai North constituency, To Ho-shun, who is representing the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong this term, took part in the 2019 District Council election. His leaflet put forward the slogan “Five demands, not one less” and stated that he would “fight to kick out the establishment and refuse to back parachuted candidates”. His nomination was also confirmed as valid. To said last night that he had found his way back, and acknowledged his past mistakes and failures. The Independent Media previously called Ho Shun To for comment, but the call was answered by his assistant, who said the message would be passed on to To. No response had been received before publication.
「完善」區議會選舉後，除改劃選區外，又增設需「三會」成員提名，民主派因而在候選人「清零」，不同官員曾稱需時其「改其自新」。不過在天水圍北選區，今屆代表經民聯的陶皓訊，曾參與2019年區議會選舉，單張提出「五大訴求，缺一不可」的口號，表明要「力踢建制，拒撐空降」，其參選資格同獲確認。陶皓訊昨晚稱自己已迷途知返，並承認過去錯誤及失敗。《獨媒》曾致電陶皜訊查詢，不過電話由其助手接聽，稱會向陶轉達，在報道刊出前未獲回覆。

區選提名期結束 非建制派全軍覆沒 羅健熙：將與黨友商討前路
The nomination period for the District Council election ended yesterday. The non-establishment camp was wiped out, with the Democratic Party, the Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood and the District Council Alliance failing to secure enough nominations to enter the election. Democratic Party chairperson Lo Kin-hei said it was “a great pity” that they could not stand for election. He will later discuss the way forward with party colleagues, including whether contesting elections remains feasible and how to continue without any councillors, before reporting back to the public.
區議會選舉提名期昨日結束，非建制派全軍覆沒，民主黨、民協及區政聯盟均未有取得足夠提名，未能報名參選。民主黨主席羅健熙對未能參選感到「好可惜」，稍後將與黨友商討前路，包括參選是否仍屬可行，及在沒有議員的情況下如何走下去，及後再向公眾交代。

廖成利：民協已進入「沙漠階段」 有信心日後區選將開放泛民參與
The nomination period for the District Council elections ended yesterday, with the non-establishment camp entirely “zeroed out”. Two Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood (ADPL) candidates were also unable to secure nominations from members of "the three committees" and enter the race. ADPL chairperson Bruce Sing Lee Liu said the ADPL had entered a “desert phase”, describing the current district administration as resembling Shenzhen’s system. However, Bruce Sing Lee Liu said they believed the system would eventually be opened to traditional pan-democrats at an appropriate time: “I have confidence in this.” Bruce Sing Lee Liu believed traditional pan-democrats could still take part in the Legislative Council election in two years’ time, while the ADPL would decide whether to contest it depending on the circumstances.
區議會選舉提名期昨日結束，非建制派全數「清零」，民協2名參選人同未能取得「三會」成員提名入閘。民協主席廖成利稱，民協已進入「沙漠階段」，形容現時的地區行政已如同深圳的系統，但相信在適當時候會將開放予傳統泛民參與，「呢個我有信心嘅」，認為傳統泛民仍可參加兩年後的立法會選舉，民協將視乎情況是否參選。

田北辰：叩門搵近300「三會」成員、200人無應門 15人拒聽政綱
The nomination period for the District Council election ended today. Roundtable planned to field five candidates, but ultimately only one obtained enough nominations to enter the race. Legislative Council member Michael Tien said that, over six days, four candidates had knocked on the doors of a total of 288 "the three committees" members in their four respective constituencies. Of these, 200 did not answer the door, while 15 refused to listen to an introduction of the election platform after answering. Only 26 agreed to hear the platform introduction after answering the door, and seven agreed to nominate the candidates, but the candidates still failed to secure enough nominations to stand for election. Tien said he would suggest that the authorities amend the regulations to arrange meetings for District Council election candidates to meet their nominators, namely "the three committees" members. He also criticised those who refused to answer the door, saying they should no longer be appointed by the government.
區議會選舉提名期今日結束，實政圓桌擬派5人參選，但最終僅1人取得足夠提名入閘。實政圓桌立法會議員田北辰表示，4名參選人在6日內，向所屬4個選區中共288名「三會」成員叩門，當中200人無應門，另有15人在應門後拒絕聽取介紹政綱，最終只得26人在應門後願意聽取介紹政綱，當中7人答應提名，惟仍未能取得足夠提名參選。田北辰表示，將向當局修例建議，為區議會選舉參選人安排見面會，接觸提名人即「三會」成員，又炮轟拒應門的人不應再接受政府委任。

區選提名記｜民主黨民協未能入閘 建制派 KOL黑超哥、玄學小仙女夠提名
The nomination period for the District Council election ended today (30 November), with the Government announcing that 172 people would contest the district direct elections. The number of directly elected seats has fallen from 452 in the current 2019-term councils to 88 in the new term. In the 2023 election, candidates must obtain a total of nine nominations from members of “"the three committees"” to qualify to stand.
The Collective published statistics showing that at least 20 people who had indicated an intention to run ultimately failed to obtain enough nominations and could not qualify to submit their candidacies. The pro-democracy camp was entirely shut out, including the Democratic Party and the Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood. Neither of the two candidates from the centrist New Prospect qualified, while only one of the five candidates fielded by the non-traditional pro-establishment Roundtable qualified.
Those who secured enough nominations included candidates from the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, as well as newcomers such as pro-establishment KOL Hei Chiu Gor, whose name is Hui Man-fung, and Tse Min-ting, who describes herself as the “Feng Shui Little Fairy”.
Roundtable Legislative Council member Michael Tien said he had visited the homes of more than 200 "the three committees" members, but only 26 were willing to listen to his platform. The four candidates who failed to qualify had seven members willing to nominate them. Three of those members withdrew their nominations after seeking the opinion of the chairman of "the three committees", leaving only four nomination votes ultimately secured. Democratic Party chair Lo Kin-hei said the party had mailed information to "the three committees" members and contacted individual members. Although some candidates received individual nominations, they did not reach the threshold.
區議會選舉提名期今（30日）結束，政府公布有 172 人參選地區直選。直選議席由2019年現屆的 452 席，減至新一屆的 88 席。2023年的選舉，參選人要獲得「三會」成員、合共九個提名，才可入閘。
《集誌社》統計，至少 20 名曾表示有意參選者，但最終未能取得足夠提名，無法「入閘」報名。當中民主派「全軍盡墨」，包括民主黨和民協；中間派新思維二人都無法入閘；非傳統建制、實政圓桌出五人當中，僅一入閘。
有誰成功夠提名入閘？除了民建聯和工聯會，還有「素人」，如建制派 KOL「黑超哥」許民楓、自稱「玄學小仙女」的謝敏婷等。
實政圓桌立法會議員田北辰表示，曾家訪逾 200 名三會成員，只有 26 人願聽政綱，末能入閘的四人，共有七人願給予提名，當中三人索取三會主席意見後撤回提名，即最終只穩袋四張提名票。民主黨主席羅健熙就指，曾向三會成員郵寄資料，接觸個別三會成員，雖有參選人獲個別提名，但未達門檻。

區選提名記｜向三會拜票 資深民主派獲覆「未收到消息可否提名」
In this year’s “improved” District Council election, the “battleground” for candidates seeking nominations is no longer the streets. After the government amended the electoral system, directly elected district councillors must secure nominations from nine members of “"the three committees"” to qualify to stand. A former pan-democratic district councillor seeking a nomination sent messages to 50 acquainted committee members, receiving only five replies—all refusals. Non-establishment group New Thinking, which had spent six months preparing for the election, also encountered obstacles in seeking nominations: a candidate wrote to more than 100 committee members and cited quotations from Xi Jinping to demonstrate patriotism, but received only “verbal promises” of nominations. On the other hand, establishment candidates registered with strong momentum. The new party Hong Kong New Direction fielded five candidates, all of whom qualified to stand, while Henry Chi Hang Ma, itself a member of "the three committees", secured enough nominations to register on the first day nominations opened. How did candidates from the three camps seek nominations?
今年「被完善」了的區議會選舉，候選人爭取提名的「戰場」，不再是街頭。政府修改選制，直選的區議員，要爭取九個「三會」委員提名，才可入閘。有民主派前區議員圖爭提名，發信息給 50 個相識的委員，只獲五個回覆、但全數拒絕；非建制的新思維籌備選舉半年，也在爭取提名碰壁，候選人發信予百多位委員、引習近平語錄自證愛國，但仍只得「口頭承諾」提名。另一邊，建制派報名氣勢如虹，新政黨香港新方向派五人出選全部入閘，本身是三會成員的馬志恆，在提名首日便夠提名可「入閘」報名。三條路線的參選人，是如何爭取提名？

新民黨拒提名實政圓桌 田北辰稱食兩次檸檬 形容事件是鬧劇
The nomination period for the District Council election ends next Monday. Roundtable for New Policy plans to field five candidates, four of whom have yet to secure nominations from members of “"the three committees"”. Its convener, Tik Chi-yuen, was earlier invited by New People’s Party chairwoman Regina Ip to contact the party for assistance in finding nominations. The party announced last night that, after discussion by its caucus and consultation with the views of its “"the three committees"” members, it was unable to help. Tik told Media Report this morning that he had been “rebuffed twice” and found the party’s refusal to nominate puzzling, describing the incident as a farce: “If that’s the case, what was the point of you [Regina Ip] saying that publicly in the first place?”
區議會選舉提名期下周一結束，擬派5人參選的實政圓桌，其中4人仍未取得「三會」成員提名。召集人田北辰早前獲新民黨主席葉劉淑儀邀請，稱可聯絡協助尋找提名。新民黨昨晚宣布，經黨團討論及徵詢黨內「三會」成員意願後未能協助。田北辰今早向《獨媒》表示，自己「食兩次檸檬」，對新民黨拒絕提名感到奇怪，並形容事件是一場鬧劇：「既然係咁，你（葉劉淑儀）當初公開講係為乜呢？」

新思維稱獲「三會」成員口頭答應提名 狄志遠強調沒有受排擠
On the fifth day of the District Council nomination period, Third Side plans to field two candidates but has yet to register them to enter the race. Third Side chairman and Legislative Council member Tik Chi-yuen said members of "the three committees" had verbally agreed to nominate them, but there was still a “clear distance” to go. He said they were taking a wait-and-see approach, but Third Side would continue explaining its position and seeking nominations, stressing that he did not feel ostracised.
區議會提名期進入第五日，新思維擬派出兩人參選，但仍未報名入閘。新思維主席、立法會議員狄志遠表示，已獲得「三會」成員口頭承諾提名，但就仍有「明顯距離」，指他們持觀望態度，但會繼續解說爭取提名，強調在感覺上沒有遭受到排擠。
