2000 Hong Kong Election Committee Subsector elections

The National People's Congress Subsector and the Legislative Council Subsector did not hold elections as the Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress and the Legislative Council members were ex-officio members of the Election Committee.

182 validly nominated in nine subsectors and two sub-subsectors were returned uncontested; and 723 validly nominated were to contest in the remaining 25 subsectors and two sub-subsectors for 482 seats in the Election Committee.

[1] Of the total electorate of 168,434 from the contested subsectors, only 32,823 turned up for the poll, a mere 19.49%.

This falls short of the generally known figure of 800 by six because four members had dual capacities, i.e. they were both deputies to the National People's Congress and Legislative Council members, one Legislative Council member had resigned from the council before the term of office ended on 30 June 2000, and one deputy to the National People's Congress could not be an Election Committee member for not being a permanent resident of Hong Kong.
