Hong Kong people gearing to vote as new election laws comes in effect

Hong Kong voters are preparing to vote for the first time this weekend since election laws were changed, amid a dearth of opposition candidates, months after the city began cracking down on dissent.

The legislative elections, to be held Sunday, come after Beijing in March passed a resolution for electoral reform in Hong Kong that gives Beijing more control over who is elected to Hong Kong's legislature.

Beijing has tightened its grip over the semi-autonomous Chinese city following months of pro-democracy protests in 2019 that at times descended into violent clashes between police and protesters.

Hong Kong later amended its laws in May, reducing the number of directly elected lawmakers to 20 from 35, even as the legislature was expanded from 70 to 90 seats. Most of the lawmakers in the legislature would be appointed by largely pro-Beijing bodies.

Under the new laws, legislative candidates will also be vetted by a largely pro-Beijing committee to ensure that only patriots loyal to Beijing rule the city.

The elections also come amid a crackdown on dissent in the city. Most of Hong Kong's prominent pro-democracy activists and opposition politicians are either in jail or awaiting trial, after 47 pro-democracy figures were charged with subversion under a national security law in January over their roles in an unofficial primary election.

Authorities say that the primary organised by the pro-democracy camp was aimed at crippling the government and subverting state power.

To encourage people to vote, authorities announced that public transport will be free on Sunday. The government also set up polling stations at border checkpoints that will allow registered Hong Kong voters living and working in mainland China to cross the border briefly to vote, before returning to the mainland without having to undergo quarantine.

Earlier this month, Lam said that some 18,000 people had registered to vote at the border polling stations.

Some activists abroad, such as London-based Nathan Law, have called for Hong Kong residents to boycott the elections, describing the race as a selection in which candidates have been vetted by political police.

Figures representing people have no hope of running, Law said in a tweet earlier this week.

New election laws have also banned residents in Hong Kong from inciting others to cast invalid votes or boycott the elections. Those convicted of doing so face up to three years in jail and a 2,00,000 Hong Kong dollar (USD25,600) fine.

New Jersey residents displaced by Sandy will be allowed to vote via e-mail

Residents must first submit a ballot application by e-mail or fax to their county clerk

Attempts to make it easier for those who have been forced to leave their communities and for those workers away from home who are busy with disaster-relief efforts

Displaced storm victims qualify as "oversea voters"

Critics argue that Internet-based voting systems pose security risks

Argue internet-based voting systems are more vulnerable to hacking and other security risks

Opens the door to new forms of election mischief 

This news story provides yet another example of the implications to technology. There are security implications to this new e-mail voting system due to the fact that e-mail is "not at all authenticated, reliable, or confidential." Although recent technology can offer simple methods for solving such problems like this, technology-oriented solutions may not always lead to the right answer. The fact of the matter is that voting through e-mail cannot sustain authenticity, and it increases the opportunity for error in the election process. 

This really puts our technology-dependent society to the test. It also questions technology's value and the role that it plays during presidential elections.
