The 2006 Election Committee subsector elections were held from 7.30 am to 10.30 pm on 10 December 2006 in order to elect 664 members of Election Committee.[1] The Election Committee was responsible for electing the Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive in 2007 Chief Executive Election.
In 2002, Tung Chee-hwa who failed from favour with many Hong Kong people was elected as Chief Executive of Hong Kong in the 2002 poll which the pro-democracy camp boycotted. This time, however, the pro-democracy decided to take part in the Chief Executive election in an attempt to force candidates to care more about the people's livelihood and prevent Donald Tsang reelected uncontested. After discussion, the camp decided that Alan Leong would run as a representative of the camp. As a result, the camp tried hard to gain at least 100 representatives of theirs to get the nomination threshold to enter the race.
The General qualifications for candidature are a registered geographical constituency elector; and a registered voter of the concerned subsector or has a substantial connection with that subsector. 5 subscribers are required for nomination of the concerned subsector.[1]
The 800-member Election Committee was composed of 664 members elected from 35 subsectors; 40 members nominated by the religious subsector; and 96 ex-officio members (Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress and Legislative Council members).[2] The 38 subsectors are listed as follows:[1]
This election is considered as a "decisive victory" by the pro-democracy camp. Out of the 137 candidates, 114 candidates won, together with the 20 ex-officio members of the Legislative Council, there was enough number of nominees required for Alan Leong to be nominated in 2007 election.
