泛民今明兩日舉辦初選,港島多區投票踊躍,出現人龍,有警員在銅鑼灣登龍街及北角票站外拍照。

初選前夕,警方持法庭手令到負責開發投票電腦系統的香港民意研究所試圖取走電腦,聲稱電腦系統被入侵,內有警員資料殘留,需撿走電腦資料調查。負責舉辦初選的民主動力表示今日初選照常舉行,時間、地點及投票方式不變。有份協調初選的香港大學法律系副教授戴耀廷指,政權是要製造恐嚇效果,香港人要處變不驚,今日要以投票拒絕謊言。

Pan-Democrats is holding primary elections today and tomorrow. Voters on Hong Kong Island were eager and there were long lines at many districts. Police officers took pictures outside polling stations at Tang Lung Street in Causeway Bay and North Point.

On the eve of the primary election, police went to the Hong Kong Public Opinion Reasearch Institute, which is responsible for the development of the polling system, with a court warrant to try to take their computers, claiming that the computer system was hacked, and that there was information about the police. Power for Democracy, organisers of the primary election, said that today’s primary election will be held as usual, at the same time, place and voting method. Benny Tai, associate professor at the Law Department of the University of Hong Kong, who coordinated the primary election, pointed out that the regime is intended to create a threatening effect. Hong Kong people must remain calm, and today they must vote to refute the lies.
