6.127 Due to the large number of seats and candidates for the ECC in a LegCo general election, the Optical Mark Recognition System will be used for automatic counting of the votes as per the arrangements of the EC subsector ordinary elections. In case the system fails to operate normally, the counting staff will activate the contingency plan and input the votes on each ballot paper manually into an independent computer system.
