Civil servants told to distribute leaflets at government buildings on polling day; administrative officer calls it wasteful extravagance
公務員被要求選舉日到政府大樓派傳單 政務主任：鋪張浪費
The Hong Kong Legislative Council election will be held on 7 December. The government is using every means to boost voter turnout, including widespread invitations to online influencers to make promotional videos, extending polling hours to 16 hours, and setting up dedicated polling stations for civil servants, Hospital Authority healthcare workers and ethnic minorities, as well as outreach polling stations at residential care homes and polling stations near the boundary. An administrative officer exclusively disclosed to 《棱角》 that the government issued a notice on Tuesday (the 25th), requiring civil servants, apart from those already assigned to work at polling stations, to return to their respective departments and remain on standby on Sunday, polling day. They would also distribute leaflets in nearby communities, repeatedly call colleagues, stakeholders, government-related organisations and even contractors to urge them to vote, and provide support for other election-related work in their departments as needed.
香港立法會選舉將於 12 月 7 日舉行，政府今次出動所有方法推高投票率，除鋪天蓋地邀請網上紅人拍片宣傳外，又將投票時間延長至16個小時，又設公務員專屬票站、醫管局醫護人員專屬票站、少數族裔專屬票站、院舍外展票站，以及鄰近邊境票站等方法。 有政務主任向《棱角》獨家披露，政府周二（25日）發出通知，要求公務員在星期日投票當日，除本來要到票站工作的人員外，需要返回各自所屬部門候命，並在附近社區派傳單，不斷致電同事、持份者、與政府有關聯的機構，甚至外判商等，呼籲他們投票，並隨時支援部門其他選舉有關工作。
