Hong Kong's first district elections for patriots yielded a 27.5% voter turnout,
00:06
the government announced earlier today. It was the lowest ever turnout for such
00:10
polls that this year simply shut out all opposition candidates from joining.
00:16
The last city district elections held in 2019 prior to the pandemic and at the peak of the
00:21
massive democratic protest drew a voter turnout north of 70% that yielded an electoral landslide
00:29
victory for the democracy protesters. Today's deflating voter turnout confirms
00:34
voter disappointment and despair on Hong Kong's electoral exercises and how over seven of ten
00:41
individuals made a statement of how the polls do not factor in the government's belief that the
00:47
status quo is quite okay. Over 70% of candidates who joined today's electoral exercises came from
00:54
the nominating committees. Three members of the League of Social Democrats, one of the last
00:59
remaining opposition groups said they planned to stage protests but were immediately arrested
01:05
even before they could show up for the event.
