An online system aimed at letting people voting in the 2021 Legislative Council elections check how long expected queuing times at polling stations are was disabled on Sunday, to be replaced by physical signs at all polling centres.
The Registration and Electoral Office (REO) said in a statement that the system was “out of service” due to “excessive usage.”
Instead, staff at all stations will place physical signs informing voters of the rough estimated waiting time – less than 30 minutes, about 30 to 60 minutes or about 60 to 90 minutes, for example.
Polls are open until 10.30pm on Sunday. People seeking further information can call the REO’s hotline on 2891 1001.
