Yesterday, I tried to vote (16 May, 2010) at my local polling station.

I had already completed, signed and faxed back my application to become an eligible voter which I found on Google to be http://www.reo.gov.hk/pdf/reo1_form.pdf around a week ago. A day or so before 16 May, 2010 - I received a letter which mentioned that I had become an eligible voter for a particular disctrict. However when I turned up at the polling station yesterday the local officials told me that I was not eligible and said that because this is a re-election only registered voters from 2009 could vote. I told them this is now 2010 and I am officially an eligible voter.

I tried to vote but couldn’t - I wonder whether there are many others like me.
