Your Vote Can Count
Australia has just voted in a new Prime Minister, the US is gearing up to chose a new President in 2008, the UK has been dabbling with - but abandoned - the idea of elections that same year. And here in Hong Kong we're still in the aftermath of recent elections.
The right to decide
Many people living as expatriates still have a voice in their home country. To find out how to register and vote see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Pages on:
- Voting in the US Presidential Elections
- Voting in the UK General Elections
- Voting in the Australian Federal Elections
Or find out your rights from your Hong Kong-based Consulate; contact details are in the Consulates & Embassies category of The AngloFILE.
In addition, you may qualify to vote in elections in your adopted home. Any HKSAR Permanent Resident is entitled to vote in their District Council Elections or Legislative Elections provided they have been correctly registered on the electoral roll.
- Find out what these elections mean and how to register with the INFOrmation Page on Voting in Hong Kong, which explains the steps you need to follow.
