The Chairman of the Legislative Assembly Election Commission, Judge Fong Man Chong, said tonight he was satisfied that the process of the election was generally up to expectation. Speaking to reporters after polling had came to an end, he said the process in most of the polling stations were smooth, making it possible for voters to cast their votes within five minutes. Mr Fong said special arrangements were made at a station where a group of elderly voters, who had arrived at the same time, were unclear with the procedures, causing a longer queue. “Staff explained to them the process and they proceeded to cast their votes. The crowd was cleared later.” Mr Fong said candidate groups accusing each other, mostly of irregular promotions, made up most of the election complaints received. Staff had also taken down particulars of people who used mobile phones in the polling stations and prosecutions would be instituted if they were found to have breached the law. Mr Fong strongly denounced the cases of violence today, including the assault on a candidate and a journalist: he condemned such behaviour and said those who took part should be criminally liable. The police were investigating the cases, he said.
