[On now-cancelled Election Day, I was tailed by unknown agents for 1.5 hours]

1. On the day supposed to be our election day, I was tailed by 4 unknown cars AGAIN for 1.5 hours+. At least one five-seater, one seven-seater Honda & one motorbike kept following me from east to west. ImageImageImage
2. Clearly #Beijing and #hkpolice attempt to create fear today when #Hongkongers staged protests urging gov to resume the #LegCo2020 election, opposing DNA collection and #nationalsecuritylaw and releasing 12 #hkers detained in #China.
3. #Police even fired pepper balls at #HKers that chanted “voting is a right” and expressed support to #Thailand and #Belarus, with nearly 100 arrested. #MilkTeaAlliancehttps://t.co/NDxJN473K3 ImageImageImageImage

The pan-democrat primary election mechanism for #LegCo2020 is being announced right now, with voting expected to take place on July 11 and 12. But there's a problem.

Au Nok-hin said today that he felt shame at the difficulties in mobilising everyone to establish polling stations Image
Polling stations could include private spaces, yellow shops or district councillors' offices. For example, before the March 2018 by-election, some polling stations were set up outdoors with a valid letter of no objection

Now, of course, this could violate the group gathering ban Image
Some councillors said that if their offices are used, they are concerned that the Home Affairs Department would see this as a violation of rules and would not allow them to claim expenses for that month. Some would still be willing, but sufficient equipment is another challenge.
