The Kowloon Central geographical constituency is one of the ten geographical constituencies in the elections for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong which elects two members of the Legislative Council using the single non-transferable vote (SNTV) system. The constituency covers Kowloon City District and most of Wong Tai Sin District in Kowloon.[3]

History

The constituency was created under the overhaul of the electoral system imposed by the Beijing government in 2021, replacing the Kowloon City part of the Kowloon West constituency and north-western part of Wong Tai Sin District (all District Council constituencies except covered by Kowloon East) of the Kowloon East constituency used from 1998 to 2021. Constituencies with the same name were also created for the 1991 and 1995 elections in the late colonial period, with different boundaries compared with the 2021 constituency, while the 1991 constituency also elected two seats with each voter having two votes
