2025 Hong Kong legislative election

The 2025 Hong Kong Legislative Council election is a general election that will be held on 7 December 2025 for the 8th Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Under the new electoral system introduced in 2021, 90 seats to the Legislative Council include 40 seats elected by the 1,500-member Election Committee, 30 seats of trade-based indirectly elected functional constituencies (FCs), and 20 seats of directly elected geographical constituencies (GCs).

The current election laws are considered by numerous international governments and NGOs to be neither free nor fair. Only pro-Beijing "patriots" are allowed to run, the majority of opposition pan-democratic members were banned, jailed, or forced into exile. Virtually all opposition parties were intimidated into dissolving by the government and the police. 77.8% of the council is elected by a select few groups of professionals and corporate representatives, while only 22.2% of the whole council are directly elected, resulting in a disproportionate two-tier democracy and very limited popular representation.
