Results Of the total electorate of 168,434 from the contested subsectors, only 32,823 turned up for the poll, a mere 19.49%. This was considerably lower than the 23.38% in respect of the 1998 subsector elections. The Election Committee thus formed comprised 90 ex-officio members, 40 members nominated from the Religious Subsector, 182 returned uncontested and 482 returned contested from the elections, making a total of 794 members. This falls short of the generally known figure of 800 by six because four members had dual capacities, i.e. they were both deputies to the National People's Congress and Legislative Council members, one Legislative Council member had resigned from the council before the term of office ended on 30 June 2000, and one deputy to the National People's Congress could not be an Election Committee member for not being a permanent resident of Hong Kong.
