Hong Kong to amend election laws in favour of pro-Beijing camp

Changes will make it illegal to encourage others to boycott polls or cast blank votes
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam announced amendments to voting laws on Tuesday that critics say favour pro-Beijing candidates by redrawing constituency boundaries, creating more electoral districts, and criminalising calls for voters to leave ballots blank.
Having become Hong Kong’s least popular Chief Executive in the near quarter century since the handover from British colonial rule, it remains unclear whether Ms. Lam will seek re-election. She faced anti-government protests in 2019 after proposing a Bill to allow extraditions to China.
Legislative Council, known as LegCo, elections are set for December 19, while the Chief Executive elections are set for March 27, 2022.
