HONG KONG -- A bills committee of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) held its first meeting Saturday to deliberate draft laws on improving the HKSAR's electoral system.

Multiple officials of the HKSAR government attended the meeting to answer questions of lawmakers. 

Erick Tsang, secretary for constitutional and mainland affairs of the HKSAR government, responded to inquiries on the representation of corporate electors, epidemic control measures during elections, and arrangements for voters in the mainland.

The committee will convene from next Monday to Saturday.

The government introduced the bill to the legislature on Wednesday for the first and second reading. It hopes the amendments will be passed by the end of May.
