Elections in Hong Kong take place when certain political offices in the government need to be filled. Every four years, ninety representatives are chosen to sit on the unicameral Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Twenty seats representing the geographical constituencies are returned by the electorate, thirty seats representing the functional constituencies are elected through smaller closed elections within business sectors, and the remaining forty seats representing the Election Committee constituency are chosen by members of the Election Committee.
Legislative elections are held in Hong Kong whenever the Legislative Council needs renewal.
The Election Committee is a Hong Kong electoral college, the function of which is to select the Chief Executive (CE) and beginning in 2021 to elect 40 members of the 90 members of the Legislative Council. Established by Annex I of the Basic Law of Hong Kong which states that "the Chief Executive shall be elected by a broadly representative Election Committee in accordance with this Law and appointed by the Central People's Government ." It is formed and performs its selection function once every five years, even in the event of a CE not completing their term. The membership of the Election Committee was expanded to 1,500 under the massive overhaul of the electoral system in 2021. The Election Committee has been criticised for its "small-circle" electoral basis and its composition favouring pro-Beijing and business interests.
