An unofficial two-part referendum on the Chief Executive of Macau was held in August 2014.

Organised by Macau Conscience, Macao Youth Dynamics and Open Macau Society,[1] it asked whether voters supported reforming how the Chief Executive was elected and whether they had confidence in Fernando_Chui, the sole candidate in the 2014 election.

[7] The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM), the predecessor of Municipal Affairs Bureau, rejected the organisers' venue application to set up stalls in public places to promote the referendum.

[8] The Court declared itself having no jurisdiction over the case and refused to rule on the legality of the civil referendum.

[9] According to Jason Chao, the Court's decision effectively upheld the IACM's ban on setting up booths in public spaces to promote the referendum.
