Record-Low Turnout in Hong Kong's Revamped 'Patriots-Only' Election
TL;DR
Hong Kong's local council elections experienced a record-low turnout, with only 27.5% of eligible voters participating, as residents expressed their dissatisfaction with a political system lacking diversity following China's efforts to solidify control. This marks the lowest turnout since the 1994 polls held under British colonial rule.
