Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to turn out to cast their ballots on Sunday in by-elections in New Territories East, Kowloon West, Hong Kong Island and the architectural functional constituency for the Legislative Council.
The by-elections are being held to fill the positions vacate by six pro-democracy lawmakers who were disqualified over the way they took their oaths of office in 2016.
