For the newly formed Regional Council, 12 seats were directly elected and 9 seats were elected by the New Territories District Boards members, with 12 appointed members and 3 ex officio members of the Chairman and two vice chairmen of the Heung Yee Kuk. The first-past-the-post voting system was used.
Total of 362,725, which shared 27 per cent of the voters cast their votes on the election day on 6 March, 143,888 of which voted (35.9 per cent turnout) in the Regional Council and 218,837 of them (23.2 per cent turnout) voted in the Urban Council, slightly higher than the 1983 Urban Council Election.[1]
Among 12 incumbent Urban Councillors, only veteran Brook Bernacchi of the Reform Club of Hong Kong and Chow Wai-hung of the Hong Kong Civic Association failed to be re-elected. The oldest elected Urban Councillor was Elsie Tu who was already 72 years old, while 64 years old Kwong Ping-yau was the oldest Regional Councillor. For the Regional Council, 10 out of 27 councillors elected were social workers, while there were also 7 education workers.[2]
