Revamping District Council (DC) elections to reinstate the intended functions of DCs not only conforms to the actualities of Hong Kong, but also complies with what is prescribed in the law. There is no mention of “DCs” in the Basic Law; instead they are referred to as “regional organizations” under Section 5 of the Basic Law, with Article 97 specifying that, “District organizations which are not organs of political power may be established in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, to be consulted by the government of the Region on district administration and other affairs, or to be responsible for providing services in such fields as culture, recreation and environmental sanitation.”
