Future perfect?

In August, the Beijing government published a new policy that allows people who meet certain criteria to apply for hukou in the city.

The policy, which will come into force on Jan 1, specifies that applicants should be younger than 45 and they must have paid social insurance contributions for at least seven consecutive years. People with criminal records are barred from applying.

Applicants are graded according to points, which are awarded based on their age, level of education and living standard. However, selecting thousands of "winners" from millions of qualified candidates is a difficult task, especially as it's possible that many applicants will have accrued the same points tally.
