Expense limit for CE election raised to $13mn

The proposal takes into account the 12.8% inflation adjustment since the limit was set back in 2001.

According to Hong Kong Information Services Department, Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs Stephen Lam said, the adjustment also takes into consideration the impact on the mode of canvassing as a result of the expanded Election Committee from 800 to 1,200 members

To organise more publicity and canvassing activities, candidates will need to spend more on manpower and resources, said Lam.
