Passage of the NPC's Decision
■◉The National People's Congress ("NPC") is the highest organ of state power and its
decisions have the highest legal effect.
In accordance with Article 31 of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China
("PRC"), the State may establish special administrative regions and the systems
instituted in special administrative regions shall, in light of specific circumstances, be
prescribed by laws enacted by the NPC. Article 62(2) of the Constitution prescribes
that the NPC shall oversee the enforcement of the Constitution.
The political structure of the HKSAR is the prerogative of the Central Authorities,
of which the electoral system including the methods for selecting the Chief Executive
and for forming the LegCo is a core component. To ensure that the electoral system
upholds the principle of "One Country, Two Systems", accords with the actual situation
of the HKSAR, implements the principle of “patriots administering Hong Kong", which
is conducive to safeguarding sovereignty, national security, and development interests
of the Country, and maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability,
the NPC passed the Decision on improving the electoral system of the HKSAR on
11 March 2021, with 2 895 votes in support, 1 abstention and 0 against, and authorised
the NPC Standing Committee to amend Annex I on Method for the Selection of
the Chief Executive of the HKSAR and Annex II on Method for the Formation of
the LegCo of the HKSAR and Its Voting Procedures of the Basic Law.
■ The legal basis of the Decision is solid, which includes Article 31 and Article 62(2),
62(14) and 62(16) of the Constitution of the PRC, and relevant provisions in
the Basic Law and the National Security Law.
